Tried /stand/sysinstall the other night
from my laptop running fbsd 4.3 stable
to add a package. Got error message on
all servers:

Unable to get packages/INDEX file from
selected media.
This may be because the package collection
is not available on the distribution media
you've chosen, most likely an FTP site
without the packages collection mirrored.
Please verify that your media, or your path
to the media, is correct and try again.

Couldn't get in any of the servers, but
could get in from my dual-boot desktop
running fbsd 4.5 release. The only thing
I've done recently on the laptop is
chmod 644 to /dev/null to fix user access
for xwindows & chmod on some files in
users .gnupg dir to get gpg working right.
Is there something to fix in my paths for
root? Thanks for any help. Not looking
for a quick fix, just where to read about
what I'm doing wrong.

 "Of course I'm paranoid! You'd
  be paranoid too, if everyone
  was out to get you!"
