Fortune

[Jon Dowd]

That was my original thought after failing to install fortune via
pkg_add, however here's what shows in my ports collection:

 jondowd at samsara-02
~ $ ls -l /usr/ports/games |grep for
drwxr-xr-x  3 root  wheel    512 Jan  3 11:03 formido/
drwxr-xr-x  2 root  wheel    512 Jan  3 11:03 hlserver-opfor/
drwxr-xr-x  3 root  wheel    512 Jan  3 11:03 inform/
drwxr-xr-x  2 root  wheel    512 Jan  3 11:03 linux-enemyterritory-fortress/
drwxr-xr-x  3 root  wheel    512 Jan  3 11:03 quake2forge/
drwxr-xr-x  3 root  wheel    512 Jan  3 11:03 quakeforge/
drwxr-xr-x  3 root  wheel    512 Jan  3 11:03 wmfortune/

 jondowd at samsara-02
~ $

Later when I'm at that computer's console I will try to install the
"games" distribution from sysinstall (unless someone demonstrates a
simple way for me to proceed remotely).

Thanks to you all for helping an 'all thumbs' newb.
