I've got 2.1.6 up and running and have been trying to install some packages. >From what the responses I received from this mailing list, I tried using pkg_add instead of sysinstall. I ftp'd (binary mode) files from my ftp server (that I copied the packages directory of the cd and also ftp'd (yes in binary mode) updated one from ftp.freebsd.org to install but I keep running into this problem. The problem I'm running into is I get the following message: Unable to open table of contents file `+CONTENTS' - not a package? Any one have an idea what's happening and what I'm doing wrong? Thanks for the help! Col. Frank A. Herda, C.M.H. (216)479-7989 Voicemail/Pager http://www.herda.com
