I am trying to use the sysinstall utility to add packages. If I use the main server (ftp.freebsd.org) then I get a message saying that it can't find the 4.7-RC1 distribution on this server. When I set the options to "any" and then try it it says it can't find the /INDEX file on the specified server. Even when I put in the full path to ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-4.7-rc1/ as a url, it still can't find it. What am I doing wrong? Thanks, Tony To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
