I have seen quite a few messages answered saying "It is in the ports collection" or "look in /usr/ports/foo". This is a quick note to remind us all that not everyone, especially newbies, know what a port is. I used sysinstall for my first three months in BSDland before I ever rolled my own. A link to http://www.freebsd.org/ports/ would be a great help. Plus it gets people into the fine manual. :) Thank You, | http://students.washington.edu/jcwells Jason Wells | "Those who would trade freedom for security deserve neither | freedom nor security." - Benjamin Franklin To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
