Hi there,

New to FreeBSD and this is my first message to a BSD mailing list. Hope 
to learn a lot from you guys.

I am reading the Handbook and chapter 4 which deals with packages and 
ports repeatedly refers to the /usr/ports directory. The problem is 
that I don't have this directory on my system. I am using FreeBSD 5.3 
on a x86 machine. A simple google and browing the archives of this list 
didn't bear much fruit. Have I missed something during the 
installation?

Cheers
