installing packages

2009-03-16 Thread marco.borsat...@libero.it 

Hi, this are my questions.

1) I've installed many packages using pkg_add -rK [package] because I had the 
idea to use the same packages on a different PC. Packages are present in the 
directory i used as a repository, but only the requested packages, not the 
dependecies.

When I tried on another PC pkg_add [package] (I've copied all the requested 
packages on a USB HD) the program tells me that it cannot find dependencies. 
What is my mistake?

2) I've installed FreeBSD 7.1 on a 2.6Gh Celeron with 1Gb of RAM and a fast 
internet connection. I haven't installed KDE 3.5 because I wished to install 
KDE 4.

When I used pkg_add -r kde4 the PC worked for almost 6 hours. During the 
installation I saw many error messages but, when finished, KDE was working.

Is this the only possibility or is there a better way to install a big program 
with a lot of dependecies?

Thanks for help.

Marco

This is the reason why I prefer to use packages. I don't need a perfect machine 
as I don't use it it for professional purposes.So I will use this method. Is 
this the only possibility or is there a better way to install a big   program 
with a lot of dependecies?Not the best way, but certainly the fastest. Best 
way if you ask me is  through the ports system. Keep in mind that it takes so 
much longer (~days)
