I downloaded the distributions and some packages from ftp3.freebsd.org. I had no trouble installing any of the distributions, but when I try to install any of the packages I get the message "Unable to locate package". I'm trying to install them with /stand/sysinstall, the same way I installed the distributions. The installer locates the package index file, but can't seem to find the packages themselves. They're located in c:\FREEBSD\packages. For instance the cdplay package is located at c:\FREEBSD\packages\audio\cdplay-0.92.tgz. Can anyone help me with this?
