Hi,

I would like to install mtools.  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 DOS floppy has

(Floppy root directory)\PORTS\EMULATORS\mtools\(various files and folders
  						from CDROM distribution)

which is parallel to 

(Floppy root directory)\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.  I have no internet connection or workable DOS partition
so I cannot install mtools any other way than to use the DOS floppy
and the /stand/sysinstall menu driven packages utility.

Thanks,

J. Metcalf
