The thing is, the vmware tools provided with this version of VMWare (VMware=AE Workstation 10.0.1 build-1379776) are packaged with a Perl script and there it looks like there is no Perl in FreeBSD 10. We're behind an NT/LM authenticated proxy, which I haven't managed to get past yet from the FreeBSD installation in the VM, so downloading distfiles (Perl, for example) isn't currently possible. I created a shared folder in VMWare to store distfiles on, but apparently I need VMWare tools installed to access such a folder, which brings me back to the Perl problem. It appears that I need samba & squid to have NT/LM authentication to get through the proxy so that I can download ports & packages, but to obtain packages for those I need to be able to get through the proxy first. How do I solve this conundrum? If only I had a writable CD or an USB stick here, I could use that to transfer the files between the systems, but unfortunately I don't have any at hand (after the weekend perhaps, if I remember to bring them). --=20 If you can't see the forest for the trees, Cut the trees and you'll see there is no forest.
