The best way to do this is to create a port for the software you want to install and get it added to the ports collection. The porters handbook (http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/index.htm l) has detailed instructions on how to do this. -- Matt Emmerton To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
