I haven't been able to get a network up on this Toshiba 4005 with Netgear FX 410 so can't do a network install. Moved the basic install files to dos partition and installed from there (version 4.0-RELEASE. After reading posts here I guess I should reinstall from Recent STABLE snapshots. OK fine. But in the mean time I thought I'd work with what I have for a while to familiarize myself. I tried to move selected files from the distro */packages*/ to the dos partion in places where BSD expects them in the distro along with the INDEX file. Still can't add packages with /stand/sysinstall/`install from existing file system'. I thought maybe I could get /usr/ports to do the job so entering /usr/ports/shells/bash1 I moved the bash1*tgz to /usr/ports/shells/bash1/pkg/ and said `make' The ports tools don't see the file there and try to ftp to a server which of course breaks since ..no network. Where do the ports tools expect to find the package? It does report that it looked and didn't find the package .... so where does it look. I'll put the package there.
