*sighs* I'm having much more trouble getting everything to work on this
incarnation of things then I have had in the past -- but ya'll are great and
i'm working through it :) Much thanks.
My latest problem is with ports.
For the time being I want to install 'colorls', but i've tried to install
another
thing or two and it didn't work either.
I'm in /usr/ports/misc/colorls, and /cdrom is mounted. Problem #1 is that
the Makfile/other-information fo Colorls list the file its looking for as
ls2.2.7.tar.gz, where as /cdrom/packages/misc/ has a colorls2.2.7.tgz.
Everything on the cdrom is in .tgz, and perhaps that is the issue with
why none of my ports are working? I tried to change the references to
'colorls' and 'tar.gz' into 'tgz' and it didn't work --
No such directory in /usr/ports/misc/colorls/work/ls/ls.1
I have absolutely no idea whats going on now -- except that work/
contains only a 'man' and a 'bin' directory and some other files all
in caps.
