Hi Joshua and others, You are correct. I should 'su' without '-/ing' then it worked. But I am running on a slow machine (AMD K-6/350). It took a while with following pop-up # pkg_add OOo_1.1.1.RC3_FreeBSD52Intel_install.tbz pkg_add: could not find package ORBit-0.5.17_2 ! Now another problem comes on installing RRBit-0.5.17_2 as follow; # cd /usr/ports/ # make clean (first) The PC is now running for more than 8 hrs. coming to .... biology/platon Cleaning ..... Shall I close the Kconsole window OR let it to run. B.R. Stephen _______________________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
