to whomever can answer this --- i've gone through lehey 3rd edition. ditto online handbook. there is --NO-- /cdrom/ports/distfiles. there are no distfiles anywhere except /usr/ports and it is empty. there are no ports on disks 2, 3 or 4. i checked 3.2, 4.2 and 4.4. make wants a tarball in /usr/ports/distfiles. objective: install everything on the cds. plan b: install everything perl. holy grail: "hello, world" using perl/tk. i have run the install script in /cdrom/ports. i have installed the cvs-repository. i buy the cds because all i have is dialup speed. q: where are the tarballs? the only tarballs i find are in individual packages. am i supposed to install packages one-by-one? what happens to specifying options? what is the current correct procedure to transfer everything on the cds to hard drive? tia rob spellberg harvard, illinois emailrob@emailrob.com ps: /stand/sysinstall does not recognize the fbsd disks as fbsd disks. also, the mount point is called /cdrom.
