Subject:   Lynx missing from 2.2.5 installation CD-ROM

After installing FBSD 2.2.5-RELEASE from the walnut Creek CDROMs onto my
new hd, I noticed some problems inside the installation process. Since
those are completely unrelated, I'll post a few messages. Apologies for the
inconvenience.

During installation, Lynx is set as the default html browser. This is
pretty sensible, since most users won't be able to start an X server from
scratch. Anyhow, when trying to go to the html Documentation from
/stand/sysinstall, the following error message appears:

     Unable to fetch package lynx-2.7.1 from selected media.
     No package add will be done.

Now how am I to read the docs? it would be a nice idea to add some lynx
version to the default packages installed on all machines, since html is
such a nice documentation format.

No, no answer neccessary -- I already know how to got to the ports.For
beginners this would be an unresolvable chicken-egg problem circle.

Thanks for listening in
