750: <blockquote><pre>
751: # <b>cd /usr/ports</b>

754:
755: [Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs
756: server.]
757: <p>
758: Note that most ports are available as packages on our mirrors. Updated
759: ports for the 6.1 release will be made available if problems arise.
760: <p>
761: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
762: would like to know more, the mailing list
763: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
