I have created a custom FreeBSD installation using sysinstall's
install.cfg, and I am trying to have it install a custom package I created
using advice from Alfred Perlstein's site at
http://people.freebsd.org/~alfred/pxe . I created my package, called
mymods.tgz and copied it to packages/All in the distribution tree on the installation
server, and I added the following to packages/INDEX:

mymods||/|my modifications||brian@acm.jhu.edu||||

Then I told install.cfg to do a post-install of mymods.  However, when the
installation runs, sysinstall complains that it cannot fetch the package,
although it fetches everything else correctly, including other packages.
What is going wrong here?  I sense there's a problem with that INDEX
record, but I suppose it could be something else.

Thanks in advance,

-Brian
