I mean when I execute the command 'pkg_add -r bzip2' how does it know that it needs to fetch it from ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/...../packages-4-stable/ as opposed to packages-4-current? Also, along the same note, I searched through the handbook but could not find any information on how to convert a 4-STABLE to a 4-CURRENT. I want to only use CURRENT software not update my kernel to CURRENT. Is this possible? If pkg_add -r is provided a URL to a CURRENT directory, would it fetch all dependencies from the same directory or would it revert to its configured URL to fetch the dependencies? Thanks in advance. -D
