The handbook states to load from the internet you must already have CJ> the md5 and makefile....and it never says where to find such things. Well, I think installing lynx (textmode web-browser) from port collection you already have helps you to enter http://www.freebsd.org/ports/ and download new stuff. Besides textmode websurfing is funny. You have to setup internet connection separately from lynx however. -- Best regards, Arseny mailto:ampy@crosswinds.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
