So, I first update ports manually, and now = I CAN INSTALL packages by hand. I know it is not the ideal, but my network card works only for Windows. I am not a server administrator , I am only a student who whish to learn more about freeBSD. So, as I am able to install more ports packages, I am installing more software, but I noticed those messages (everytime I install something with portinstall) cd: can't cd to /usr/ports/sysutils/portupgrade [missing key: categories] [Updatting the portsdb in /usr/ports ... - 17674 port entries found .... 1000 ... 2000 .... 17000..... done] missing key : categories: Cannot read the portsdb! database file error an I am not sure how to get rid of them Thank you for your support Alberto On 9/26/07, Paul Ooi Cong Jen wrote: > > btw, you need internet connection for port installation. else can try > pkg_add media from ROM > > then try run > sh> portsnap fetch > sh> portsnap extract > > then you will see portupgrade is actually in > sh> cd /usr/ports/ports-mgmt/portupgrade > > the port tree has been updated for portupgrade > > Regards, > Paul Ooi Cong Jen > http://www.takizo.com/blog > > Mr Anderson wrote: > > Hello > > > > Well, I could find a CD/DVD updated of FreeBSD.
