Hi:
I come form the Debian Linux world and would like to know how I can
information about packages for installation. I use prots to install
some, but many of them I just want to install binary files.
For eample, in Debian, I can use "apt-cache search mozilla" and this
will list all packages with mozilla in it and then I can select the
package for installation.
In FreeBSD, when I run "pkg_add -r mozilla" I keep getting an error
stating that it could not download package ftp://....../mozilla.tgz.
Is there a better way to find what ackages are available for
installation?
Thanks in advance.
