If you're running sysinstall as root, which is how you have to do it (it gives an error if you try to run it as a user), then it's not a permissions problem. What happens when you try pkg_add directly? > >If you're installing, you can see more info by looking at the second > >virtual > >terminal (alt-F2). > > Unfoirtunately not installing. There may be a way to turn it on post-install, but I couldn't figure it out. (Sysinstall, under 'options', has 'debugging' turned off by default in post-install. Turning it on didn't seem to change anything, however, even when I turned off getty on the alt-f2 ttyv.) There's a reason sysinstall is rarely or never used post-install... -David -- +++ Divide By Cucumber Error. Please Reinstall Universe And Reboot. +++
