Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi I've been trying to install ports from the FreeBSD 4.0 CD set, and have run into some problems: when i run 'make' from the ports directory /usr/ports/whatever/ (i did untar the ports.tgz file from the 1st cdrom) it says that it did not find whatever.tgz on the system and will try to get it from http://whatever.com. According to the documentation, when you have the cdrom mounted in /cdrom it will install from the cdrom. When i look at the Makefile it has a list of ftp or http servers, where it could try install from, but it does not reference the /cdrom anywhere? Do i need to issue a special flag to the 'make' command for it to go look in the /cdrom? I've also noticed that the actual package tar file name does not match the package tar file name on the cdrom, (XFree86-4.0.tgz on the cd, but in the Makefile it looks for X400.... for instance). Any help would be appreciated. Regards Christian To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
