RE: pkg_add and ls not working

[Roelof Wobben <rwobben%hotmail.com@localhost>]

I did use the PKG_PATH but still the error.

 

Must I use the -r switch to tell pkg_add that the package is on the server and 
not on my system.

 

Another question :

 

Where can I set the PKG_PATH permentaly so I don't have to type it everytime I 
reboot or restart my box.
