I've been at the pkg_add thing for some time now, and I'm read to admit I need some advice. I have a newly installed 4.5 system (with the ports collection). I want to add xemacs, evolution and openoffice. I have tried: /stand/sysintsall no good since these packages don't seem to be on my cd's pkg_add -r evolution-1.0.1 pkg_add -r xemacs-21.1.14 pkg_add -r openoffice-6.0.a638 in each of these cases pkg_add starts looking for sever and never finds one with the packages it it looking for. I have also tried "make" in /user/ports/"package name" Can anyone help figure out the most straightforeward way to get these programs installed on my system? Should I go ahead and download source and build each myself (seems like a waste of time since others have already done it). Any advice would be most appreciated...
