Hey, thanks for answering ! OK, here is what happens if I try something like asclock which wasn't installed: pkg_add -r asclock Error: FTP Unable to get ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/freebsd/ports/i386/packages-7.1-release/Latest/asclock.tbz File unavailable (e.g., File not found, no access) pkg_add: unable to fetch 'ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/freebsd/ports/i386/packages-7.1-release/Latest/asclock.tbz' by URL So basically, if I try to use pkg_add -r now, it won't work. It didn't happen until I did the upgrading or updating, so I'm thinking I made a screw up. Thansk again for the quick response :) > Tony -Allen
