Dear Support Team:

I am installing FreeBSD 2.1.7 Packages from MSDOS partition 
(drive D: on MSDOS or wd1s1 on UNIX). Due to unable to access
the ATAPI EIDE CD-ROM from FreeBSD, I copied the FreeBSD
CD-ROM (from Walnut Creek) onto MSDOS partition (drive D:)
using MSDOS xcopy command. When I mount the wd1s1 (drive D:)
and issue ls -l /mnt/packages/all to see the list of directory, I saw
the index file (lower case), but when I tried to install the mstools_3.0
packages by issuing the command, such as: /stand/sysinstall and chose
the configure (Do post-install configuration of FreeBSD) and followed with 
packages and media option, I got the ERROR message, such as:
Unable to get packages/INDEX (INDEX in upper case). I copied
the index file to MYINDEX -- using cp command and deleted index
re-copied back MYINDEX to INDEX, but the file name index still 
remains in lower case. Do you have any suggestion? Thanks,
Sas Widjaja
