Well Juan on your word I installed macports from the dbg pkg file. I don't find tar, find or top in that distribution. To rectify this I'm wandering through the wiki pages and documentation a little lost. There seems to be lots of documentation but I don't seem to find an introduction or getting started doc that explains what is in macport by default and what if any extensions I might be missing.<br>
<br>Any suggestions?<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Mar 26, 2009 at 12:26 AM, Juan Manuel Palacios <span dir="ltr"><jmpalaciosp@eml.cc></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">

Until Mac Daddy's email I forgot this list existed and that I was on it. Which reminds me of a UNIX question. (smooth segue :)<br>
<br>
What is the best way to install the FSF/Linux version of file and system tools? I am tired of tar, top and find etc. not having those nice convenient extensions. Why the heck is top's default sorting order pid anyway? Why do they think it is called top? I'm still on 10.4 if it makes a difference.<br>
