      I noticed the pkg_add command was helpfully available on my pfsense 1.2-RELEASE installation..

      I was poking around the shell and wanted the "nano" text editor, as its pretty much what I've been using my whole life =P

      but pkg_add fails :(

      pkg_add -r nano

      Error: FTP Unable to get ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-6.2-release/Latest/nano.tbz: File unavailable (e.g., file not found, no access)
      pkg_add: unable to fetch 'ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-6.2-release/Latest/nano.tbz' by URL

      not sure why this is, if I enter "ftp ftp.freebsd.org" on the shell it connects up fine

      can anyone help?  thanks

      ps, also besides nano I was hoping to install 'iftop'  which is similar to the included 'pftop' but shows ncurses-based horizontal graphs on the console which makes it cooler than pftop in my book :)
