Hi!

I usually use ports to install software but due to lack of space to
extract and compile, i want to use packaes.

I was thinking that to install them easily, I would have best to use
sysinstall.

So, /stand/sysintall -> Configure -> Package -> FTP passive -> an ftp
site
Note: I have changed  "Release Name" to 'any'.

sysinstall reports 
"Unable to get packages/INDEX" file from selected media."

Can any give me a tip please?

Thanks.

Ph°1
