The machine I am trying to install FreeBSD on does not have a cd-rom drive, so I am trying to install via FTP from my local NT server. The main installation went fine, but I cannot get the packages to install. The error message is "Unable to fetch package from selected media. No package add will be done." I think it is a path thing. The NT server is set up with an alias named "2.1.5-RELEASE" that points to the root of the cd-rom drive. I have also tried with the alias pointing to the packages directory, etc. What is the directory structure supposed to look like for ftp? If it found the bin directory ok, why can't it find the packages directory? Should this installation method be able to work? TIA, Doug __________________________________________________ Doug Kite email: dkite@icomnet.com Network Administrator phone: 919-559-6442 Lenoir County MIS fax: 919-523-0371
