I didn't know anything about pkg_add.. that would have helped me a lot sooner. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I have to stop comparing FreeBSD to Mandrake. There is enough of a difference between to the two to make it really frustrating. Can you recomend a "spand the gap" book that will give me the insider tips with FreeBSD?
