None of these work, ex: # pkg_add -r kde Error: FTP Unable to get ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-5-stable/Latest/kde.tbz: File unavailable (e.g., file not found, no access) pkg_add: unable to fetch 'ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-5-stable/Latest/kde.tbz' by URL ---- It's very convenient to have basic packages precompiled since compiling of ex. KDE takes forever. >How-To-Repeat: obvious >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
