I've successfully installed FreeBSD on my Pentium from a DOS partition.
What I'm trying to figure out now is how to install packages like emacs
from BOOT.FLP's post-install configuration menu.
Here's what I have: C:\FreeBSD\Packages\Index
C:\FreeBSD\Packages\All\emacs-19.29
(both copied from ftp://ftp.cslab.vt.edu/pub/FreeBSD/2.1.0-RELEASE/packages).
I haven't copied the entire contents of the packages directory because I
don't have the space for it and don't want most of those packages.
The post-install configuration menu lets me select emacs, but then fails
to load it from DOS partition. I tried replacing the UNIX path in the
Index file with "C:\FreeBSD\Packages\All\emacs-19.29" but that didn't
work either.
Would appreciate any suggestions... :(
Regards,
Rohan.
