Hi Marty, The problem is mentioned at http://www.freebsd.org/ports/index.html. For 2.2.2 RELEASE, a tarball with a few files needed for some of the ports to work is at ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/packages-2.2.2/222upgrade-97.07.09.tgz. just unpack it onto / and the files you lack will be present. Regards, Palle >I keep running into the same problem making many of the x11 'stable' >ports. It can't find the BSD.x11.dist file. It's not on my 2.2.2 CD >either. This is after I tried using cvsup for ports-all.
