The problem that I am having is: 1. I finaly got freebsd 2.1.6 up and running. Had an inital problem with it recgonising my smc8216c nic card, but it does now and I have connectivity. 2. I had copied the dist directory to an msdos partian which I used to do the installation. Worked fine. 3. When trying to install the selected packages, it says that it can not find them from the same ms-dos partian. The files are there but freebsd can seem to find them. 4. So I said to myself I got internet conectivity so I'll try doing the package installs thru ftp. After freebsd logs in to ftp.freebsd.org it says that it can not find the realease-2-1-6 directory. This is using the update menu from /stand/sysinstall. 5. Anyone have any ideas what I am doing wrong? 6. Can I just extract the application from it gzip format, copy it into a temporary directory in a freebsd partian an run make install? 7. Is there a menuing system for system administration ou there anywhere? Thanks for helping me! Thank God for mail lists! Col. Frank A. Herda, C.M.H. (216)479-7989 Voicemail/Pager http://www.herda.com
