There doesn't seem to be anything on ftp.cdrom.com acknowledging this either. The README for the packages sets says to unpack the packages by: cd / tar xvzf package-to-install.tgz No it doesn't! It says to unpack the *package installation software* like this, not the packages! You're supposed to use pkg_add to install the packages, as it more than clearly states. Jordan
