5/17    okay, can someone explain to me this whole fbsd ports thing? i
        downloaded a package from http://freebsd.org, untar'ed it into the
        /usr/ports/ directory, and typed "make install" but got a bunch
        of error messages saying that the Makefile had bad syntax. is
        there something i'm missing here? -fu-less

        \_ Uh, here is a clue: package != ports collection. Once you have
           downloaded a binary package just run pkg_add packagename.tgz
           For help about ports collection see FreeBSD handbook on their
           website.
