Dear Colin, Julian,

I am afraid the script is not working reliably when it is launched by =
Colin=E2=80=99s very useful configinit from EC2 user-data. If I run the =
same script from the shell prompt, it works. The difference is that pkg =
-r /mnt update -f fails a good few times, each time with these errors:

	/bin/sh: indexinfo: not found
	pkg: POST-INSTALL script failed

Is indexinfo something that I could manually add? I am sorry I am not =
more familiar with the inner workings of pkg=E2=80=A6

Many thanks indeed,
Rafal=20
