I am playing with freebsd 6 on a testing box. I Upgraded l from 6.0 to 6.1 because it looked like popular opinion is that it's got a number of improvements After a few false starts and finally figuring what I did wrong it went basicly ok. I went to use sysinstall to install a few usefull looking items however I got a error message: "Release 6.1-p3 not found on server" What is puzling is if I do essentially the samething: run pkg_add -f from the command line I seem to get some of the packages I wanted-to install. Is this normal? or did I do something wrong? I am not entirely sure how fix this and any assistance is apreciated. (The free-bsd etiquite note statements says I should mention what I have done so far) I have started by using google to see if anyone else has this problem. I haven't found the problem on bulitin boards or the like (not yet anyway-i'll look again in the morning) -thanks --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? Get on board.
