Hi, I have a question that has really stumped me. I have searched far and wide and have found no literature on it. My question - Why can't i install linux_base-8 from packages? I am running linux_base-7.1_7 on FreeBSD 4.10-RELEASE and wish to upgrade to linux_base-8. As root I type "pkg_add -r linux_base-8" and get the following Error: FTP Unable to get ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-4.10-release/Latest/linux_base-8.tgz: File unavailable (e.g., file not found, no access) pkg_add: unable to fetch 'ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-4.10-release/Latest/linux_base-8.tgz' by URL It installs perfectly from ports, but why not from packages? I am puzzled. Does any one know why or can point me to some reference or literature explaining this mystery? Cheers Bob Find local movie times and trailers on Yahoo!
