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.

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

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]"
