I think everyone is misunderstanding my issue here. I setup 5 FreeBSD servers at once, we are converting our mail server, web server, DNS server, spam gateway, and transparent proxy machine over all at once to FreeBSD (well, in steps...but...). My experience with freebsd is considered intermediate. I installed all these boxes from the ISO. The FIRST thing I did after the install was complete was a: pkg_add -r cvsup-without-gui cvsup /etc/ports-supfile (I made the supfile) cvsup /etc/ports-supfile cd /usr/ports/shells/bash2 make install cd /usr/ports/editors/pico make install I did not type anything else in between in the initial install and those commands above. The pico and bash installs failed, and only happened on this one machine. The other machines work fine. Therefore, in my opinion, either something is wrong with the hardware of the box, or something was wrong with the ISO I downloaded, because I didn't type enough commands to be able to mess anything up. Thanks for your help in advance. -Matt Chuck Robey wrote: > Matt Juszczak wrote: > >> Still can't figure out how to get my FreeBSD machine to work >> properly.
