After compiling PKG, when I go to ports to compile anything (my eMac can run FreeBSD but not modern Linux due to the version of the Radeon GPU) it fails to retrieve any of the source tarballs for any of the software, desktop environments etc. I would like help to fix this, as I?d like to run something current.

It it up to date? What sort of problems are you seeing in fetching the port sources? Since no one else has reported any problems, it is most likely something to do with your local environment.

It helps a lot of you send the exact command you run with the error message. Or all the significant output.

A dmesg and ifconfig of this "eMac" may be helpful, and a specific model number in case somebody else already bashed their head against it enough to get a working setup. Does it even get an interface up & running in some form? Maybe start off with throwing a USB ethernet wired adapter onto it and hoping a miracle occurs. A+ Dave
