I don't have a FreeBSD box available anymore to look this up, but I think there's an option you can set for pkg_add that tells it to use wget instead of fetch. I *know* you can set this if you're doing "make install" from the ports tree, and I'm pretty sure it's possible in the pkg_add system. -- Soren Harward [EMAIL PROTECTED] ____________________ BYU Unix Users Group http://uug.byu.edu/ ___________________________________________________________________ List Info: http://uug.byu.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/uug-list
