Unable to install xorg using pkg_add
Hello, I just installed FreeBSD last night using the bootonly image for 9.0-RELEASE. I then updated to 9.1-RELEASE using freebsd-update. Everything seems to have gone smoothly but now I'm getting the below error when trying to isntall xorg. Error: Unable to get ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/amd64/packages-9.1-release/Latest/xorg.tbz: File unavailable (e.g., file not found, no access) pkg_add: unable to fetch ' ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/amd64/packages-9.1-release/Latest/xorg.tbz' by URL output of uname -a FreeBSD freebsd 9.1-RELEASE FreeBSD 9.1-RELEASE #0 r243825: Tue Dec 4 09:23:10 UTC 2012 r...@farrell.cse.buffalo.edu:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC amd64 ___ 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
Reading the handbook from console
I went ahead and installed the FreeBSD handbook onto my system and I was able to find it on disk per the motd notes but I'm wondering if there is a preferred method for reading these since they are in html format. I tried w3m and lynx and it looks like they are both not installed. Is there something i'm missing for reading these or do I just need to install a cli browser? ___ 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
9.0 vs 9.1
OK can someone please explain this to me in detail? I've been reading all the release notes I can find and I'm not understanding why after upgrading to 9.1 I have to compile from source to install stuff now. It takes forever and asks me questions I have no idea what the answer is to. Early today I installed irssi which I had to do with make clean install because just doing pkg_add -r irssi complains about not being able to find the url of it. Should I just reinstall 9.0 and not upgrade, will ports work correctly then? ___ 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
