As you noted, it does indicate '..' was found in the path. This is a "protection" against overwriting file and directories higher than the path where tar was invoked. It does exit with error 2. However the files will be there. Don't use pkg_add. Just untar with the above command. A better solution is to use cvsup. The handbook contains instructions for keeping your documenation tree (including the handbook) up to date with cvsup. Best Regards, jpb ===
