Are you referring to sysinstall? /usr/sbin/sysinstall In the older days it was under /stand if I'm correct If you are missing the ports you could also simply use ftp to transfer the tar.gz archive from ftp.freebsd.org or an alternative mirror...

Late last December my small network began falling apart. Still not sure how, but a fellow from Dallas came to my rescue and from his home, slowly rebuilt and re-configured everything. E.g.: for one thing, where I hack sendmail working via various kludges, he set up imap. I had thought that was mostly for students.... He also filled me in on jails. Previously, I had my 1998 Kayak doing DNS and mail and web solo. Jon created a jail and set things up there. He used NFS to bring over things from a faster computer. That's well and good; it makes sense to compile a suite that takes days on sage [Kayak @ 400MHz] on my Dell8200 [2.4GHZ]. A few days ago I realized that I was missing some simple programs on sage. I went into ports: empty. Years ago there was a standalone script that let you fix or tune things. I thought it was on the hard drive as well as the CD set. Anybody? thanks for any clues! gary -- Gary Kline kline@thought.org http://www.thought.org Public Service Unix http://jottings.thought.org http://transfinite.thought.org _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
