Set PACKAGESITE and add it to ~/.cshrc, ~/.bashrc or whatever shell you are using.

I'll have to set the variable in the boot? if I put in ~/bashrc he stayed only for a specific user right?

http://myfreebsd.homeunix.net/hints_...s/pkgsite.html

the best way would be to set the variable in /etc/profile ?

export PACKAGESITE=ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages/All

Don't do that. You'll be downloading and installing packages built on FreeBSD 9-CURRENT, which won't work on a FreeBSD 8.x system.

Instead, use ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/po...ages-8-stable/
