I have just installed 3.1-RELEASE by doing an FTP installation from an FTP server I have running on my Windows98 machine. Although the actual installation went without a hitch I am unable to install any packages. I get a message saying "Unable to fetch package from selected media. No package add will be done" If I get the package to FreeBSD machine and run pkg_add it appears to install OK, and if I than run /stand/sysinstall it shows as being installed. I have copied the directory structure eg. pub/FreeBSD/3.1-RELEASE/package/* any help would be greatly appreciated Willem To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
