Each new release of FreeBSD has a ftp package directory that matches

Hello again, List! It has been many months since my last
confession, er, POST. :)
My question. Generally, what is the easiest way to reinstall
XFree86 to a 5.2-RELEASE working system? Is there a separately-
hosted ports area, other than current? Thanks very much.

area, other than current? Thanks very much.
Look around for a mirror site that still carries the 5.2 packages, and
use it with pkg_add as described in the manpage, or compile it from
ports.

5.2? You would probably be happier downloading the 5.4

Very sound advice; I now have two CD-Rs (finally!)
Hello
I am a new FreeBSD user. I have installed the latest production release 5.4.
Two questions I have are:
1. How do I update to the newest binary packages without using ports? I have a
slow computer so compling through ports is not fun. When I now do a pkg_add -r
firefox I get
ports is not
fun. When I now do a pkg_add -r firefox I get version 1.0.3 and not
1.0.4 which I've seen exists as a binary package via the web
inteface.
No new packages are ever produced for -release versions of FreeBSD.
However, you can use the packages-stable packages, which will almost
always work

Sorry to flood this group with so many questions. It's been some time
and I am quite rusty with the administration of FreeBSD.
I just rediscovered pkg_add (because I needed Perl5.8 and 4.11 comes
only with 5.005!). I guessed that the easiest way to install Perl 5.8 is
pkg_add -r perl5.8. Looks
Hi!
Just a short question:
When I download compiled packages with pkg_add -r, where
are the binary packages stored? I want to share them over the net
for other hosts.
Thanks, Florian
