If I'm not mistaken, FreeBSD-5 (with 5.5 as its last member) was
"End of Life" and stopped being supported three years ago. Even
FreeBSD-6 was EoL last year.

I think everyone would very strongly recommend that you update to a
more recent (and supported!) version, either 7 or 8.

Should you really need something from 5.5, you can probably find it
in the archives, in:

	ftp://ftp-archive.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD-Archive/

The index for 5.5-RELEASE appears to be at:

	ftp://ftp-archive.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD-Archive/ports/i386/packages-5.5-release/INDEX

But updating to something more recent -- and supported -- would be
a very good idea.
