This is wrong.

You can either copy the package to a BSD filesystem and restore its proper name, or you can rename the 'lynx_2.4' file to 'lynx2_4.tgz' on the MSDOS filesystem. Either will work. > [Question 3] > What shall I do to install packages.Could'nt I install package withtout > CDROM? Packages are intended to be installed from a filesystem that doesn't have naming restrictions inherited from 1970's vintage traffic-light controllers. > shinkai@flab.fujitsu.co.jp > Yoshitake Shinkai -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and (GSM mobile) 0411-222-496 [[ ]] realtime instrument control (ph/fax) +61-8-267-3039 [[ ]] Collector of old Unix hardware.
