Although fortune *can* be part of the "base" system, it is part of the=20 "games" distribution which might not have got installed. In fact the=20 "games" are none of them games any more and the likes of snake=20 presumably live in the ports now. Probably you can just run sysinstall=20 with the first CD in place and install just the games - but I've never=20 done that. Being a lazy slacker I wouldn't ever consider a Unix install = complete without *something* that passes for a game (for use during long = compiles, of course :-)) If you do buildword's and things you might need to check that games=20 haven't been turned off in /etc/make.conf which I presume is possible. This is from 5.4 by I expect 6.X to be largely the same. % which fortune /usr/games/fortune % ls /usr/games =2E/ caesar* grdc* pom* =20 random* unstr* =2E./ factor* morse* ppt* rot13* bcd* fortune* number* primes* strfile* No clue about Spanish though. Maybe you need to start translating ;-) --Alex
