Distributions, by nature, shouldn't be on the disc... they are outdated = the moment they are made into an ISO. run these commands: These are written assuming you are in as root. # ftp ftp://ftp3.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/ports/ports.tar.gz This is a 50MB file. It will take some time. I have found = ftp3.freebsd.org to be the fastest server in the US. # mkdir /usr/ports # chown root:wheel /usr/ports # tar -xzf ./ports.tar.gz -C /usr/ports/ Capital C is required there... it will shift you to the folder you need. You can now build your programs as you need to.=20 /usr/ports/shells/bash* This is also the most current version of the ports since you are getting = it straight off the server. -- Ryan On Aug 1, 2011, at 9:02 PM, Grant Walter wrote: > Hi guys, >=20 > I burned a CD of the LiveFS image and my installation failed.
