Hello,
I have been trying to get an X windows system up and running using
pkg_add on Dragonfly 1.4.
I looked at this guide:-
http://leaf.dragonflybsd.org/~justin/handbook/x-install.html
Which seemed straightforward enough. I set my PKG_PATH variable to:
ftp://packages.stura.uni-rostock.de/pkgsrc-stable/DragonFly/RELEASE/i386/All
And tried pkg_add -r XFree86 as it said in the guide.
However it says -r is an illegal option and even when I remove it I am
told that XFree86 cannot be found.
Can anyone tell me if I seem to be doing anything wrong? Should I be
trying a different ftp source? I tried manually browsing several but it
is a bit of a maze. Any pointers would be most welcome.
Thank you.
Max.
