All repo's where tried without luck. I DL'ed them seperatly. The filename
was wrong in the script. I assumed that this was because 6.2RC1 .iso ports
list may be out of date ?

I didnt realise audio codecs could have security issues (noticed that
anything I install from ports carries a security notice?) however
I need to listen to my voicemail.

I alos tried the JRE / Fox setup which worked in 6.1 but not in 6.2

OK, this wasnt a complaint, just trying to undersand what a RC is compared
to a full release. I realise also that there are 1000's of ports and not
every single one can be monitored and tested constantly.

What is the 'Official Procedure' for reporting problems with ports or
any other aspect ? I always try googling and this list in that order.
