hi, i am new to freebsd (but not to unix
i have installed minimal version 8.1 but i checked and missing /usr/ports dir... any clue? where i went wrong?
thanks
The standard FreeBSD installed (sysinstall) asks during the install if you want to install the ports tree. It's kind of buried in the middle of a bunch of other questions, so it's possible to miss it.
However, as mentioned in the post above, installing the ports tree after the install is very easy: # portsnap fetch extract
And, to keep it up-to-date, all you need to do is: # portsnap fetch update
