Ahh that's what I was afraid of. Fortunately I have a version of it from a 2.1.5 box, and Jack O'Neill kindly sent me the source for it (thank you Jack). I tried to get at the pkg_manage via 2.2.6R's sysinstall configure/packages. I dont think this is the right way though since it requires selection of source media, and packages/INDEX at the source. Is there another way into sysinstall's pkg_manage? -- The ants are my friends, they're blowing in the wind To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
