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!
