Dear Sir:
I'm upgrading a FreeBSD 2.2.5 system thesedays . The current
system is minimon installed, without X window and enough packages .I
want those features available. So first I got the packages and Xfree86, and
copied them to a DOS patition, then rebooted the machine with a floppy and
enter the sysinstallation. I entered the "post installation" then
"packages" ,
after choosing media and packages, I chose "install". But it was failed with
"unable to fetch xxxxxxxxx from selected media, ......". I cheched the DOS
patition, it seemed as:
c:----freebsd----packages--------shells---- bash-1.14.7.tgz
| ......
|
|
----math------ ......
|
|
----www------- ......
|
......
I don't realize what's the matter even now . I notic that the Index file
could be
fetched and explaned well , it seems at least something in the patition can
be
recognized . and then I tried to install the packages from floppies , but
the same thing appeared. It took me about 3 days but reward me nothing, even
an
clue, ...... , shut !
Then I made another effort to install the Xfree86 , but this
time I was
told that the sysinstallation sopport only the Xfree86331 but I recieved
Xfree86332 , so it can't recognize it .? My god, I almost lose my confidence
.
So please help me, You are the last emancipator .
A lot, a lot, a lot of thanks !!!
(by the way , I do all file operations on win95 , is that the crux?)
