I've noticed that many of the ports I installed during the OS installation just have package info. pkg_add want's to download the appropriate files (which is excellent) except I have no connection to the internet on my FreeBSD box. I have the 4-CD set, hoping all the packages and ports would be included. I have another computer with internet access but when I try to download ports, I get the same (Makefiles and stuff) but no code. For example, I've looked all over the CDs and have not been able to find "The GIMP." I've found it online, but no package (tgz), just the ports stuff. Is it possible to install this stuff from my CDs instead of the internet? __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
