Hello, I prefer manual installations so I was always going to fixit mode and doing something like: cd /dist/8.2-RELEASE/base install.sh Now there is no install.sh script in 9.0-RC2 anymore. Am I right thinking that "bsdinstall distextract" should do the same thing? If yes then what is the proper way of using it? I'm setting these variables: $DISTRIBUTIONS="base" $BSDINSTALL_DISTDIR=/usr/freebsd-dist $BSDINSTALL_CHROOT=/mnt and I'm mounting my disk (manually or using "bsdinstall mount") and then I'm getting a segmentation fault when I simply try to run "bsdinstall distextract". In other words, how can I get the distribution files installed in FreeBSD 9? Thank you in advance, M.
