I bought the Walnut Creek FreeBSD 2.1.5 CD and installed the O.S. in a 300 MB disk partition split upautomatically by the softtware install program/ I didn't have any problems installing it, although I have an unsupported CD-Rom drive so I had to copy the files to my hard drive and then install from there. My problem is installing the packages. I have tried copying the packages directory to my dos partition and installing from there, but the installation menu can't seem to find the Index file even though it is there. My dos subdirectory is empty so I suspect that the problem is that my dos partition is not mounted, but I haven't had any luck with the command: mount msdos /dev/wd0s1 /dos or mount msdos /dev/wd0s1 /msdos or mount_msdos /dev/wd0s1 /msdos Please help.
