It was released as a package; so I ran pkg_add ftp://blahblahblah However, it was taking a long time, and I wasn't even sure if pkg_add supported URLs, and there was no progress indication, so I figured I'd fetch it instead; so: ^C caught signal 2, cleaning up At which point it deleted my home directory. I'm *really* steamed. What the hell happened? Ben "You have your mind on computers, it seems."
