Probably not stupid.

Although fortune *can* be part of the "base" system, it is part of the=20
"games" distribution which might not have got installed.  In fact the=20
"games" are none of them games any more and the likes of snake=20
presumably live in the ports now.  Probably you can just run sysinstall=20
with the first CD in place and install just the games - but I've never=20
done that.  Being a lazy slacker I wouldn't ever consider a Unix install =

complete without *something* that passes for a game (for use during long =

compiles, of course :-))

If you do buildword's and things you might need to check that games=20
haven't been turned off in /etc/make.conf which I presume is possible.

This is from 5.4 by I expect 6.X to be largely the same.

% which fortune
/usr/games/fortune

% ls /usr/games
=2E/              caesar*         grdc*           pom*           =20
random*         unstr*
=2E./             factor*         morse*          ppt*            rot13*
bcd*            fortune*        number*         primes*         strfile*

No clue about Spanish though.  Maybe you need to start translating ;-)
