I am having problrems installing ports the ones that fail always do so with same problem: Attempting to fetch ftp://ftp.cs.cuhk.edu.hk/pub/Login Failure On ttyv1 I have looked to see if i can change the ftp site, i cannot ping ftp.cs.cuhk.edu.hk net unreachable but can ping it without the cs in it. I guess you're trying to install something to do with X.org, as ftp.cs.cuhk.edu.hk is only listed under MASTER_SITE_XORG. It seems that server may be down -- for the time being at least -- however, there are several other mirrors around the world that the ports could use instead. For most 'site down' type errors, if you just wait patiently, the ports should eventually try the next server in sequence. However, if that doesn't work, you could try adding[*] MASTER_SORT=.uk RANDOMIZE_MASTER_SITES= yes to /etc/make.conf -- this should cause the ports to try and download from a different server initially. The '.uk. MASTER_SORT probably won't help very much here, as although ftp.mirrorservice.org is on the MASTER_SITE_XORG list, as you can see, it doesn't have '.uk' in its URL. The obvious substitution to get mirrorservice.org to sort first is left as an exercise... Cheers, Matthew [*] Assuming you're in the UK, as you're using plus.com -- Dr Matthew J Seaman MA, D.Phil.

If I remember correctly, there was no configuration screen. I did a little chinking and decided that the best way to install CUPS was to only install cups-base place the ppd file in the cups/ppd directory and add the printer. Bingo - it all works fine. For gnome - who needs all that complicated windows stuff anyway? I use fluxbox and am quite happy with that. Just stick to the British army motto: KISS - Keep It Simple, Stupid!
