Do you have the right CD mounted? Port distfiles are on CD 4 IIRC, these are not the same thing as the packages which are spread over CDs 1-3. I don't think all distfiles are included though, so you might have to download it yourself or just use the package (cd /cdrom/packages/editors; ls emacs*; pkg_add emacs-.) -- Ben Smithurst / ben@FreeBSD.org / PGP: 0x99392F7D FreeBSD Documentation Project / To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
