No, you just need some kind person to introduce to the magic of the
FreeBSD ports 8-)
$ ftp ftp.cdrom.com

$ su - (become root)
passwd: (enter root password)
# cd /usr/ports/editors
# tar xzvf /where/ever/joe.tar.gz (extract joe directory from where
you downloaded it)
# make install
And, if you're online at the time, this will pull down the source by
FTP, extract and patch it for FreeBSD, compile and install it, and
you're ready to play!
