I don't know which mirrors have packages, but I usually login to the main site when looking for packages.

From that line above and other problems you mentioned it sounds as if you may not have updated your ports tree. Did you use cvsup to update your port tree? > I realize that a number of applications were broken or couldn't be > successfully installed without being compiled (mgetty comes to mind) > but the vast majority of things I use have always worked fine from > sysinstall (cucipop / sudo / links / lynx / pine / apache / etc) I usually have much better luck with ports that with packages. Sometimes the packages lack handling of some of the dependencies. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
