Just a point of curiousity here, how are you trying to fetch pine?
pkg_add -r pine, or pkg_add -r pine4 ?
Only the latter works.
That, and if you'r etrying to retrieve it from the default server, no shock that it fails. That server gets quite overloaded during the day.
I'm getting more and more tempted to start up a wiki for newbies on good package management practices and port management. The handbook seems to deal well with these things once you know they need to be done, but for someone starting out, they have no idea that they need to be doing this start with.
Granted, an argument could be made that you should read the handbook cover to cover before you begin. ;) Who actually DOES that though?

The pine distfile is generic unix source code, if you can't fetch it, it's probably just a temporary server problem. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
