Hi FreeBSD - Since PCBSD takes care of all these details this is not actually a complaint. When I was using FreeBSD the only server I could get packages from was in Japan which did so every time although the packages seemed rarely changed. I discovered the FreeBSD 10.0-CURRENT a few days past and since I have 2 machines I thought it would be interesting. I pointed the ports repository to the ports file in the 10.0-CURRENT but when I try to fetch there are always missing packages which causes the machine not to download any packages at all. If I just had gotten the Xorg metapackage and KDE metapackage. The kicker of course is that I told several ladies what to do and they are still downloading after an hour. ;~) -- Steve [Blue Seahorse] ;~) Quiet Rainbows, LLC Poetry, chess, origami & FUN!
