You should also be able to install the package directly off the internet by executing the command: pkg_add -r gimp This will produce the same results as the ports system, but is a bit faster. It will find the current version "automagically". It is an impressive feature of FreeBSD. _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
