Last night it failed on both enlightenment and gimp because some of the dependencies were on the other CD. I had to make a note of the offending items, change the CD, install them, change the CD back, and finally install the parent package(s). This kind of defeats the object of pkg_add automatically installing dependencies. Either pkg_add needs to prompt you to change the CD (after it unmounts it to allow this of course), install the dependent package and then change the CD back or the packages need putting on the CDs in such a way as to prevent this situation arising. -- FreeBSD - The Power To Serve http://www.freebsd.org My Webpage http://www.users.globalnet.co.uk/~markov _______________________________________________________________ Mark Ovens, CNC Apps Engineer, Radan Computational Ltd.
