And the 2.2.7 dirs are at ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-2.2.7/ The problem is, whatever distribution you put in...It tries to go there and CD packages. There is no "packages" directory by that exact name. Which is why I either need source or an ftp proxy (a symlink might be nice as well). (Of course, assuming I'm really in a demented mood, I could always download INDEX from that directory and point it at localhost)...But there has to be a better way. -- "Blargy Frap!" -mtreal, efnet #macintosh channel, 8.10.98, Approx 3AM Dan Mahoney Gushi on efnet IRC ICQ:13735144 (webpages TBA) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
