They stay where they were when you unpacked them. For example, if you're installing a package from a cd, the tarball is extracted and all the files go into their proper directories and a directory is placed under /var/db/pkg with all the information needed to pkg_delete it just like with a port. But the tarball stays on the cd. You don't get a copy on your hard drive. Joseph To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
