I think the following applies (pkg_add(1)): "If the given package names are not found in the current working directory, pkg_add will search for them in each directory (local or remote) named by the PKG_PATH environment variable. If PKG_PATH is not defined, pkg_add will use the path named by installpath within pkg.conf(5). " So _you_ decide by the path you specify. Bye, Marcus
