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 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
