(From the manpage and other documentation it sounds like this is automatic.) I tried... pkg_add ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-stable/All/rxvt-2.6.0.tgz And this installed it, but none of the dependencies were downloaded and installed either. Is pkg_add like Debian's apt-get? Also, where can I download the menuing package handler? (/stand/sysinstall doesn't give enough info.) My goal is to get X downloaded and installed. (I have done this numerous times with Debian -- now I am trying FreeBSD.)
