Reply-to: empey@integral.on.ca Priority: normal X-mailer: Pegasus Mail for Windows (v2.42a) Message-ID: Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I'm having trouble installing the packages from a DOS partition on my HD. I've copied the directory structure from the fto site (ftp.freebsg.org), and folllowed the install instructions. The dir tree looks like this: /freebsd/bin . . /packages/archivers/ /audio/ etc. The index file is also in the /packages dir. The install utility finds the index file for the packages, but when it tries to install them, each package comes up not found. Is there perhaps something wrong in my dir tree? Any help is appreciated! ___________________________________________________________ David Empey mailto: empey@integral.on.ca homepage: http://www.integral.on.ca/empey/ 604-185 Berkshire Drive, London, Ontario, Canada, N6J 3R6 (519)-474-0296
