Hi, It is quite traditional to use '#' or '$' to indicate whether a command is to be executed as root or as normal user, it is Bourne/Korn shell lingo. In this case the patch should be something like: -# <b>sudo sysmerge -as $RELEASEPATH/etc46.tgz -x $RELEASEPATH/xetc46.tgz</b> +$ <b>sudo sysmerge -as $RELEASEPATH/etc46.tgz -x $RELEASEPATH/xetc46.tgz</b> Or possibly just: -# <b>sudo sysmerge -as $RELEASEPATH/etc46.tgz -x $RELEASEPATH/xetc46.tgz</b> +# <b>sysmerge -as $RELEASEPATH/etc46.tgz -x $RELEASEPATH/xetc46.tgz</b> Either or, but the pkg_add line is just fine. -Bryan
