However, no matter what, it comes up with message "can't > find apache_1.1.1 package on the medium specified". PLEASE HELP. Don't use sysinstall to install packages. Mount your DOS partition with mount -t msdos /dev/wd0 /mnt copy the package file from your DOS partition to your FreeBSD partition, restoring the name to the original long one: cp /mnt/freebsd/packages/apache-1.1 ~/apache-1.1.tgz Now use the pkg_add command to install it: pkg_add ~/apache-1.1.tgz All as root of course.
