Hi: I come form the Debian Linux world and would like to know how I can information about packages for installation. I use prots to install some, but many of them I just want to install binary files. For eample, in Debian, I can use "apt-cache search mozilla" and this will list all packages with mozilla in it and then I can select the package for installation. In FreeBSD, when I run "pkg_add -r mozilla" I keep getting an error stating that it could not download package ftp://....../mozilla.tgz. Is there a better way to find what ackages are available for installation? Thanks in advance. -D
