Please help- Mark Don't confuse packages and ports -- packages are precompiled binaries that you just need to install; ports typically build the program from source. Sysinstall lets you add packages, which it can download or get from a CDROM. If you happen to have the full 4-CD distribution of 4.5 the blackbox package may well be on one of them -- problem solved. Did you try copying the blackbox tar file you downloaded earlier into /usr/ports/distfiles and building the port? That should work, provided you have the version of blackbox that the port is looking for. If it's not working, we'll need to see all the output from the make command to diagnose why it's failing.
