Hi all, I just moved from a Mac to a PC and, quite obviously, chose to install FreeBSD as a preferred OS, just to stay with the family. I installed 5.3 stable from a set of CDs that also include a collection of additional packages. Installation went fine and the OS booted OK. I then copied the packages from the 6 Cds to a directory I created called /pkg, as recommended by the leaflet. I used on all CDs : cp /cdrom/All/* /pkg I then tried to install a package using : pkg_add /pkg/fr-kde-i18n-3.3.0.tbz I get a message that some needed packages cannot be found. But these packages are actually in the /pkg directory. I assume I have to create an INDEX file inside /pkg to tell pkg_add what is available in the directory. Any clue how I should do it ? Thanks all. Edward
