Hi Markus. If you DON'T want to use sysinstall... (Doing things the hard way :) Just execute pkg_add from your shell, something like the following: # pkg_add your-package-1.1.0.tgz Specify the fully qualified path and extension to the .tgz If you want to know what's REALLY going on... try the -v parameter :) pkg_add will also accept ftp URLs. Check out the man page for pkg_add. - Ryan Markus wrote: > > Hello, > > I'm a newbie, and was wondering if I could be sent an example of how to > add a package.
