I can't help here. I use ftp to install my packages. All that I know is that if I'm using CD Audio (workman, xmcd, etc), the music stops when sysinstall starts. // Because you shouldn't use sysinstall after the system is up. I don't know // why that was put in the default /motd; it's completely wrong. Run // pkg_manage instead, or use pkg_add, pkg_delete, and so forth. What's the problem ? I often use sysinstall to install new packages. It's big advantage over pkg_add is that it takes care of getting the needed files and dependencies from ftp. pkg_add is more friendly when you already have the package on hands, and know that no dependencies are needed. BTW: Since we're talking about packages, I remembered: Why is pkg_manage not anymore installed by default ? The sources are still available, and it seens to work.
