>but no code. For example, I've looked all over the CDs yeah, that's what I've been whining about for the last couple of weeks, and several people have challenged me to do something about it. Ie., figure out some nice method for documenting which packages are on which CD. >and have not been able to find "The GIMP." I've found >it online, but no package (tgz), just the ports stuff. AFAIK, if there isn't a "Packages" link when you look for it in the Ports link on the FreeBSD.org web site, there isn't a Package available anywhere, and you can only install it via a Port. Which you can do without an internet connection - you just need to download all the port .tgz files yourself. And it will probably be a pain, as here you'll see a list of dependent ports: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/ports.cgi?query=gimp&stype=all Go and download each one of those and put it into the /usr/ports/distfiles folder. Then do the make from the /usr/ports/graphics/gimp1 folder and follow what it says. I imagine there is some way to tell the make to not go look on the Internet for the ports, to just die, but I don't happen to know it offhand. -- Jonathan Arnold (mailto:jdarnold@buddydog.org) Daemon Dancing in the Dark, a FreeBSD weblog: http://jdarnold.tzo.com/FreeBSD To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
