Hello,
 
I have installed the FreeBSD 2.1.7 CD via FTP using the CD on one box and
my network.  The install went ok until I go to the ports.  I can fetch an
"Index" but whenever I go to install a particular port, it fails,
complaining that the ports are not found.  Could someone tell me what
subdir the sysinstall utility is looking for?  And, no, I am not timing out
on the FTP session.

Thanks,
