What? Perhaps i'd understand that better in french. ;) http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=pkg_add PKG_CACHE If set, any package retrieved from a distant location will be copied to that directory as well. If i get your reply right you want to know what the entry means? Somehow i can't express this clearer than the manpage does. Most likely you set PKG_PATH in your '.profile'. So just add: PKG_CACHE=/tmp export PKG_CACHE Now when installing a package with pkg_add you'll have a copy of the installed/downloaded package in '/tmp'. pkg_add will still look for packages in the resources your specified in PKG_PATH.
