<div>Ok,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>When I go to /usr there is no dports folder.</div>
<div>It does not come with dragonfly.</div>
<div>So where is it?</div>
<div>Do I need to download it?</div>
<div>I now get that we are replacing pkg with one that comes with freebsd.,</div>
<div>A few basic steps is what I am looking for.</div>
<div>I cannot make dports-create. There is no such option in the dragonfly Makefile.</div>
<div>Thanks</div>

<div>> How do I get "pkg" installed? Sorry to be dense on this but its not in</div>

<div> </div>
<div>When you try to build any port from source, pkg is built first. You can</div>
<div>also built pkg by "cd /usr/dports/ports-mgmt/pkg && make install".</div>
<div>At that point you could install binaries if you had a repository.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>> Do I need to do a rm -rf pkgsrc and get rid of pkgsrc?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>/usr/pkgsrc can stay.</div>
<div>I'd would recommend "mv /usr/pkg /usr/pkg.moved" so the conflict</div>
<div>resolution isn't so drastic.</div>

<div>> Isn't kde4 a phone app interface? If I wanted Window 8 I'd go get a</div>

<div> </div>
<div>xfce 4.10 might be for you then for the basic desktop.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>> Too bad about nvidia. I thought dragonfly bragged about have good</div>
<div>> drivers for nvidia.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I'm not aware of that bragging.</div>
