FreeBSD 5.4 is a current release of an operating system that, while owing historical roots to 4.4BSD, is complete by itself. There is no such thing as "4.4FreeBSD". What you have installed is "FreeBSD 5.4". > I am trying to set up i.e install 4.4BSD-Lite2 distribution as a software > package in my FreeBSD system. This is completely meaningless. You do not need anything from the historical 4.4BSD distribution to run FreeBSD, nor will you have any success if you try to do so. Please see the FreeBSD Handbook (the 'Handbook' link from the front page of the web site) to learn more about what parts actually come with FreeBSD and how to add additional software to it from our packages collection. mcl
