I have a freshly installed 5.3-RELEASE system configured and am trying to add a few packages using the 'pkg_add -r' command, but I get errors for all packages similar to the following: Error: FTP Unable to get ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-5.3-release/Latest /fastest-cvsup.tbz: File unavailable (e.g., file not found, no access) pkg_add: unable to fetch 'ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-5.3-release/Lates t/fastest-cvsup.tbz' by URL I noticed that the FTP site does not have a 'packages-5.3-RELEASE' directory, but only a 'packages-5-stable' and a 'packages-5.4-release' directory. Does this have to do something with the fact that my system 'RELEASE NAME' variable is '5.3-RELEASE'? If so, how do I work around this? Thanks for any help or suggestions you can provide. Chris
