Installing programs from FreeBSD ftp server.
I experience some problems using the FreeBSD ftp server: I can`t really install anything from it. Is there any other posibilities than ports' make install method? What can I do in this case?

A quick way to install directly a package (that means a precompiled port) is to use the following syntax: # pkg_add -rv port-name i.e pkg_add -rv cvsup-without-gui ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The problem is that pkg_add fetches compiled programs from FreeBSD ftp serevr, too.Interesting: the http FreeBSD server works fine, only the ftp has some problems. Other mirrors work bad,too. And how could I change the server pkg_add tries to fetch files form? You must set the environment variable PACKAGEROOT in order to change the mirror you want to choose.
