Hi! I just installed FreeBSD, on my little PC... after a lot of research and hard work! (I had problems with partitionning the FAT32 partition from win95...) anyway, it's done and I'm more than happy. I've got just a little problem... I can't install ANY of the packages I've downloaded via FTP. The packages are stored on a DOS primary partition (C:), but the configuration program doesn't seem to find them After correcting the errors in the filenames due to that damn 8 char limitation on DOS, it couldn't work either!!! I've tried everything! (that is: putting the package dir straight at the root of my C: drive, copying the packages directly into the /usr/ports/distfiles/ directory, etc...). The program is always telling me: "Unable to fetch from selected Media. Please (...)". When I try to "make install": same result. What the heck is happening???? Help me please! +-----------------------------------+ | Free the world from businessmen | | Free yourself from your money | +-----------------------------------+ Free the web.
