Hello, excuse my ignorance but I thought the install I just grabbed off of this site was a package. However pkg_add barfs and pukes immediately. There doesn`t seem to be a readme file around on this site for me to dig into. Any helpful hints to get me on my way? thanks -Jen

newbie install on FreeBSD
The .tar.gz is not a package. To install, as rrot
cd /
tar zxvf {path to package}
That`ll put all the files in their place.
