I need just a little help doing that. Right now I have a minimal installation and manual pages installed which is working fine. I want to run /stand/sysinstall as root and use the menu driven packages installation procedure. I have to install everything from floppy right now, so I put PACKAGES\index on the root directory of my floppy and the packages installation menu was built just fine. When I went under emulators and chose mtools, the utility told me that it was unable to find the files. I'm sure that it is because I haven't specified the paths relative to the floppy's root directory properly. Right now the floppy has (Floppy root directory)\PORTS\EMULATORS\mtools (parallel to PACKAGES\index) This does not work. Could you tell me the proper paths? And also, is this Packages installation utility case sensitive? My intuition is that it is not since the floppy files are in the DOS OS which isn't case sensitive. Thanks, J. Metcalf
