 If I remember correctly there was a problem with the packages
 installation on 3.2-STABLE. Dependencies of packages were spread over
 the various CD"s instead of keeping them all on one disk.
 
 Try the following: Copy the packages you want to install to the
 harddisk, to for example /usr/tmp . 
 
 Type
 
 	pkg_add /usr/tmp/<name of package>
 
 Whenever it complains about not being able to find a package, copy that
 one there as well from one of the CD's. This should resolve all your
 dependencies.
 
 On the CD's you can find the package files on
 
 	CD 1:	packages/All
 	CD 3:	packages/All
 
 If this does not work for you, let me know and I will try to be more
 precise.
 
 Nick
