Bingo! Thank you.

All these years I have always been one to build from pkgsrc rather
than use precompiled binaries, but my new foray into vmware (which is
a lot of fun) has led me to see the usefulness of the latter.

This business of ftp:// versus http:// for a PKG_PATH to use with
pkg_add still feels a bit opaque to me; does it seem a tad buggy to
others too?


Best regards,

because I have a pet halibut?
