But, I have some problems. I would appreciate it if you would help me to resolve my problem. My PC has an IDE CD-ROM. I added following statements in my config file and rebuild a kernel. controller wcd0 at isa? port *IO_WD2* bio irq 15 vector wdintr But build failed with the following messages at final stage. loading kernel ioconf.o Undefined symbol *_wcddriver* referenced data segment. [Question 1] What shall I do to remove this error? I tried to install lynx to read FAQ to solve above problem. But pkg_add command failed with following message. pkg_add cannot find "/msdos/packages/all/lynx-2.4.2.tgz". (I could not use my CD-ROM drive under FreeBSD. So, I copied all directory/files from CDROM to MSDOS partition and mount it by mount_msdos command.) I searched lynx* by find command, but, I could not find a member lynx-2.4.2.tgz in /msdos file system. Only the following members existed. /msdos/packages/all/lynx_2.4 /msdos/packages/networki/lynx_2.4 /msdos/ports/distfile/lynx_2.4.tar /msdos/ports/net/lynx Moreover, most members under packages/all directory don't have suffix .tgz. I tried next with lynx_2.4, but pkg_add failed with the following message. pkg_add /msdos/packages/all/lynx_2.4 (my input command) Tar extract of /msdos/packages/all/lynx_2.4 failed! unable to extract table of contents file from */msdos/packages/all/lynx_2.4*.- not a package (error message generated) I also tried /stand/sysinstall. The menu displays lynx-2.4.2, but cannot install the package. Sysinstall issues the following message. unable to fetch package lynx-2.4.2 from selected media. No package add will be done. [Question 3] What shall I do to install packages.Could'nt I install package withtout CDROM? Any comment is helpful. Thanks in advance. shinkai@flab.fujitsu.co.jp Yoshitake Shinkai
