I downloaded both lynx-2.2.2.tgz and lynx-2.8rel.2.tgz from
ftp.freebsd.org/pub/freebsd/2.2.6-release/packages/all and I did download
in binary. When I run pkg_add the hard drive spins for a few minutes and
then I get the prompt. A reinstall tells me it's already installed but the
files don't exist. Works fine after gunzip and tar x though. ?? 

Thanks
