A: I am not sure about the installation. That's the reason I ask. I just pkg_add /cdrom/packages/www/communicator-4.61.tgz. I do have activated X when I set command communicator-4.61. >If you installed the ports distribution with the operating system, > >installing an individual port is simple.

Is that a parameter I have to set when I set pkg_add or when I install port collection? ? Before "make all install", should I foreach i (*) ln -s cdrom/ports/distfiles/$i /usr/ports/disfiles/$i end let FreeBSD can reach source file? (I haven't connected FreeBSD to Internet yet) That's the part I don't understand. which steps are for installing packages: 1. install port tree 2. pkg_add desired packages 3. soft link source files(distfiles) of those packages 4. make; make install 5. done or 1. install port tree 2. pkg_add desired packages 3. done I used the latter and when I try to make, I believe it doesn't be made. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
