(I'm not very good in FBSD's installation mechanism, but;) I think, you try to install these packages with sysinstall. Try to cd to the packages directory, and pkd_add packagename (or use pkg_manage) I think, INDEX is for sysinstall, too. I think you'll get informations about your problems in this list. -- Gabor Zahemszky -:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:- Earth is the cradle of human sense, but you can't stay in the cradle forever.
