Howdy all...
Just completed a new installation from a DOS partition (on
first hard disk, 850MB) and have an entier 425MB second hard
disk containing FreeBSD 2.1R.
Unix side of things seems to work Ok but I can't install any
of the packages. The INDEX file is located Ok and the items
are all displayed in the menu but when I select an item to
install and it goes to try and pkg_add it, it comes up with
an error (exits with -1 appears on VT2).
The directory I'm trying to install from looks like:
Volume in drive C is MS-DOS_620 Serial number is 2A09:1ACE
Directory of c:\freebsd\packages\*.*

...and the required files are the same as in the CD-ROM,
from which I CAN'T install, as it's unsupported.
Specifically, I'm trying to install lynx, so I can read the
handbook, etc.
Any clues??
Thanks.
John
P.S. I installed the system with DEBUG on and now there's
all these messages on VT2 all the time. Can they be
removed/DEBUG turned-off somehow on startup?
