Re: Adding packages to the 4.7-RELEASE
If you've installed the ports collection from the 4.7 CD-ROM, you should be able to say cd /usr/ports/lang/python make install and as long as the source tarballs are still available, you will have python. - Original Message - From: Steve Blair [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Adding packages to the 4.7-RELEASE Hello: I'm having difficulty locating a download site where I can get a python interpreter. I am running 4.7-RELEASE and both /stand/sysinstall and browing mirror sites using a web browser turn up nothing. Can you either mail me the python package or point me to a site where I get retrieve it? I've tried setting my release to any but that has not fixed or changed the problem.

It's possible that newer packages would work for you, but by no means guaranteed. Your best bet is probably to go through the ports system, which I believe is still maintaining compatibility with 4.7. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The ports collection only supports the latest release, although many ports will still work with older releases. Kris pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature
