Using ftp2.freebsd.org (that's the one I installed from) when You open sysinstall and go to games (where you would think it would be) or deskutils (where the Italian version is) it's not there. I have even done a scan of all packages availible from ftp2 and It is just not there. Could it be on another one of the servers???? I was under the impression that they were all mirrors???
