Probably it has been mounting a FreeBSD CD-ROM without providing Rock Ridge extension support for long filenames. You need the actual filenames to install ports and packages (the base system itself is restricted to 8+3 filenames). You can manually install the package files with the short names using pkg_add(8) though. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
