Hi,
what is the best way to download packages in the Linux compat realm? I'm
looking for something like the ports system, that would search and
download the file with the appropriate dependencies too.
Alternately, where could I find lists of ftp servers for Linux and for
FreeBSD?
Thank you

Many thanks but see, I need to install a linux package called cooledit
and I have Python installed. If I use rpm alone I get:
#: rpm -i /compat/linux/usr/arch/cooledit-3.9.0-1.i386.rpm
error: failed dependencies:
python is needed by cooledit-3.9.0-1
pythonlib is needed by

What should I do ?
# cd /usr/ports/editors/cooledit
# make install
Oops, sorry for the waste of time!

Probably someone (the port-maintainer) has solved this problem
for you.
If you don't know if an application has been ported, type
# locate cooledit
