Definitely.

Kinda/Mostly :) When you say "load ports", what do you mean and what method exactly are you using to do it? You said earlier you're using binary packages only, but here you say ports. Are we using these terms interchangeably here? If so, cool, if not, confusing :) I'm not sure whether or to what extent your potential system (mis?)configuration is contributing to these "not found on this server" errors. What exactly is showing you this error? ./koobs
