Consult the handbook (http://www.freebsd.org/handbook) for more information about ports/packages. If you want to do it that way, download every file/directory into a directory on your harddisk, and type "make install" Most people use the ports directory in /usr/ports/www/apache13/ on their local harddisk though, or use "pkg_add -r apache13" to install the pre-compiled package. If you don't have a /usr/ports directory, install it using /stand/sysinstall --> Configure --> Distributions --> ports -- Jochem To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
