I have search ftp.freebsd.org and ftp2.freebsd.org and no luck, I went to the web site found the link and it say the package does not exist. I know some packages are arch independent, but I would not assume that Linux_base would be one. That is a correct assumption, is it not? Well any help would be appreciated. TIA Roderick P.
