If you visit that site on your internet browser, you'll find the following packages for mysql server 4.1*: mysql41-server.tbz Therefore, the command would be: pkg_add -r mysql41-server In fact, if you look in /usr/ports/databases, you'll find that the port is called mysql41-server. If you want the more recent packages (with version numbers in the names), review the packages at: ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-5-stable/All/ It's here that you'll find mysql-server-4.1.7.tbz To get this package, use the following command (beware of wordwrap): pkg_add ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-5-stable/All/mysql-server-4.1.7.tbz Note that the -r option is not used when a specific location and package file are given. Best of luck, Andrew Gould
