If you wanted to install the package (i.e. the binary), do not mount the cd but execute /stand/sysinstall, choose configure, packages, the package you want and then "install" :-) > cd drive wasn't mounted ?? other times when i try to mount the cd i get > messeges like: cd9660:device busy or I/O error. That's "normal" when a cd has just been inserted and the cdrom-player is checknig the cd for information. Just wait a couple of seconds until the player stops spinning and retry again with "mount /cdrom". Edwin -- Edwin Groothuis | Interested in MUDs?
