   From the FreeBSD handbook:

  5.7.1.2 Installing GNOME

     The software can be easily installed from a package or the Ports
     Collection:

     To install the GNOME package from the network, simply type:
# pkg_add -r gnome2

It ftp'd a whole load of .tbz files one after another ("Fetching .... done") fo
r about an hour, then said

     "Broken Pipe"

and quit. Last fetch was gnome-games-2.16.1.tbz

Does this mean
a) I have successfully completed the installation?
b) I have made some error?
c) There is something wrong with pkg_add?
d) ?

What does one do now?

Thanks, Mike
