Hi,

I'm a novice to FreeBSD, perhaps the following is a stupid question--

I've tried to install some ports to my system and it runs well. Now I
want to install softwares from the precompiled packages. Is there any
command like "make install" to install them so that I can delete them
using "pkg_delete"? Is there a recommended directory to install the
packages? I ask the latter question because I find after I decompress
the packages using "tar", there are several subdirectories named "bin",
"lib", "man", how can I treat these directories( my method is copy them
to /usr/bin, /usr/lib and /usr/man, I don't know if it's right)?

Thanks in advance!
