Darren Edgerton stands accused of saying: > my problem is that i now want to install more of the distributions > from the CD but its not working. Don't try using sysinstall for this purpose. Mount your dos partition on /mnt and unpack things manually. # cd / # mount -t msdos /dev/wd0s1 /mnt # cat /mnt/freebsd/dict/dict* || tar xvzf - # umount /mnt > I was able to install the Manpages using floppies but this is painful, > i must be doing something wrong and would appreciate some help. Sysinstall really isn't suited for anything other than initial installation. > Darren Edgerton -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and (GSM mobile) 0411-222-496 [[ ]] realtime instrument control (ph/fax) +61-8-267-3039 [[ ]] Collector of old Unix hardware.
