Is this OpenBSD 4.6? On the i386 architecture? If so, here's what I see in ftp://mirror.planetunix.net/pub/OpenBSD/4.6/packages/i386/ for package sizes for texlive: texlive_base-2008p11.tgz 11,621 KB texlive_texmf-docs-2008p1.tgz 607,700 KB texlive_texmf-full-2008p2.tgz 164,893 KB texlive_texmf-minimal-2008p1.tgz 194,909 KB With files that size, yes, you might be better off doing a wget then local install. > One other webcomment was one of those @#...@# terse, clever tweet-style > snarky unhelps which said > > pkg_add -F conflicts name-of-package > > and nothing else.

Personally, I would do a pkg_delete then a local install, just to be even safer. -- Bob Leigh [email protected] _______________________________________________ Openbsd-newbies mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.theapt.org/listinfo/openbsd-newbies
