Hello, I installed FreeBSD for the first time tonight (I've been running Linux for a while), and I seem to be misunderstanding pkg_add. I'm following the instructions in the FreeBSD manual, and I ran: # pkg_add -r lsof It claimed to succeed: Fetching ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-6.0-release/= Latest/lsof.tbz... Done then: # lsof lsof: Command not found. # echo $PATH /sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/us= r/X11/R6/bin:/root/bin # uname -a FreeBSD .hsd1.ut.comcast.net. 6.0-RELEASE FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE #0: Thu Nov 3 09:36:13 UTC 2005 =20 root@x64.samsco.home:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC i386 This is a brand new install. I did an install earlier this evening, but had this problem there, so I decided to try fresh and follow the manuals more closely. This is the first command I ran after logging into the box. I'd be happy to provide any additional information that could help. Thanks for the help. I would appreciate it greatly if you could please CC me on replies, as I'm not yet on this mailing list. Thanks, ~Erin
