While I agree it is an inconvenience, why would you need to browse the packages on some webpage without FreeBSD installed? Since packages are installed from ports you can just load www.freshports.org to find what you want. With it installed you can run 'pkg search'. Browsing a page for downloadable packages is a bit outdated and pkg won't support that anyhow as it will want all of the dependencies; you can't just download 1 package, you need the whole set available. A listing of tarballs is not very helpful for inquiries as opposed to pkg search or freshports. >=20 >=20 > Thank you very much . >=20 >=20 > Mehmet Erol Sanliturk >=20 >=20 >=20 >=20 >=20 >=20 --=20 Regards, Bryan Drewery --xjhMdeXhaCvrD3O120L5k8CCdSvTdHrSf Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJScs9UAAoJEDXXcbtuRpfPzUMH/1s7FriEv+EEqlC+Xo4mfzK0 tU/Kbgxdr21tu+L6W/+HmEIqz4pmw3D6BWFdpebt37a/V9zW17uO2qE30jhM+dS6 0Ez0T98E314/XHB84QqjhKcGfk5Tgh0C97+JMQanxmYSnQhRbHN4Ndh90dYQckdz MTRT6zFFzp8ZFYGGTuHH9o0yLenCdWaOQY00f2eYr1fZ/XaHwYlS0s/QzZnaVZg0 4hUtvWwVazaXiVcNaAUBykxqu1eg0QlRgvUWWNZFvw2XWZj5aIEOu+DKdlQSh8vd dGrQ8JFvCY49rPV+TZc+Q3Sjy8SctrRabfFCwugVrIJ33R7OzQNJjhnooO5ksFc= =owYg -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --xjhMdeXhaCvrD3O120L5k8CCdSvTdHrSf--
