hello, reading the manpages for pkg_add & pkg_create have left me no wiser. i'm still confused as to how to use pkg_add to replace a wonky opera 8 with a patched opera 8.01. the handbook instructions i have advise: ... 226 Transfer complete. 92375 bytes received in 5.60 seconds (16.11 KB/s) ftp> exit # pkg_add lsof-4.56.4.tgz .... i'm unclear where the .tgz file should be prior to unleashing pkg_add.... currently, it's sitting on my main user's Desktop. but the handbook [3rd ed., 132] cites the subdirectory -- cd /pub/FreeBSD/ports/packages/sysutils/ [admittedly for lsof, above] -- so i'm wondering if i should move opera-8.01-20050509.1-static-qt.i386.freebsd-en.tgz to /usr/ports/distfiles? thanks for any suggestions, short of suicide. :c)
