FreeBSD 6.4 and pkg_add -r xorg

Running FreeBSD 6.4(i386) on intel mac mini core 2 duo.

Trying to:

pkg_add -r xorg
pkg_add -r gnome
pkg_add -r opera

It's complaining the files are not found for xorg(guessing gnome/opera as well).
Is the ftp.freebsd.org server not supporting those anymore? (Used to work before)
I do not know how to install those files/packages manually.
 
My guess is that you will not find an ftp mirror that contains packages for that old release of FreeBSD. I'm not seeing it on the ftp-archives server that I just tried.

But I bet you'll find these on disc2 and disc3 (same location you got disc1). I'm not 100% sure about Opera though. However this means you'll have to download more than 1GB just to get those three and their dependencies.
 
It' also possible to switch to 6-stable repository and then use pkg_add -r as usual:
Code: 
# setenv PACKAGESITE ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-6-stable/Latest/
btw last time I installed Gnome I fetched "gnome2" not just "gnome".
