This directory is likely to be in your path (which is probably defined in .cshrc if you're using the csh shell), so you call call pkg_add from anywhere; do it as root. You can look at your path by typing echo $PATH at the command line. As an argument to pkg_add you want the full path and name of the package you want to add, perhaps like this: pkg_add /cdrom/packages/All/packagename Annelise
