Firefox 9.0 postdates FreeBSD 8.2 release, so it won't be in > the packages-8.2-release collection:
The FTP URL is ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-8.2- release/Latest/ So this effectively means I should upgrade or do a clean install. I did try to install PC-BSD 9 on an x64, but the BIOS somehow doesn't like the partitioning. This 8.2 runs on an old PIII with 500 MB RAM (xfce), so not really suitable for demanding stuff. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
