KS> Kent I have now found the 1f.tgz, but it still core dumps!? As said, pkg_add even core dumps if I just run pkg_add without specifying any file it should add, it's like my pkg_add is broken or something. I have no idea what to look after in the dump file, but it complains about some bus failure or something. If only I knew how to redirect the error message to 'mail', then I could mail it to my wondoze box, and then mail the error message to this list. Maybe that could help me to figure out what the problem is :) -- Med venlig hilsen/Best regards, Søren Neigaard mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- "First we thought the PC was a calculator.
