I have the PAO patches installed and the machine working on my local network which is gateway-ed to the Internet via another FreeBSD machine. I can't seem to install any packages using /stand/sysinstall. When I try to do so it logs onto ftp.freebsd.org, collects the index file and presents me with the appropriate choices. When I select even one of these (Let's say elm), and ask it to perform the install sysinstall core dumps! What could I be doing wrong here? What other way(s) of installing these packages do I have? Thanks. -- Stan Brown stanb@netcom.com 404-996-6955 Factory Automation Systems Atlanta Ga. -- Look, look, see Windows 95. Buy, lemmings, buy! Pay no attention to that cliff ahead...
