Also, check disk space on the partitions, if it's low, pkg_add might have problems extracting & installing. While the process is running (and apparently frozen) switch to another console and run systat in the vmstat mode. Watch your disk usage and processor usage, if either one is high, it's probably just taking a while to do its work. -Bill To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
