Howdy all... Just completed a new installation from a DOS partition (on first hard disk, 850MB) and have an entier 425MB second hard disk containing FreeBSD 2.1R. Unix side of things seems to work Ok but I can't install any of the packages. The INDEX file is located Ok and the items are all displayed in the menu but when I select an item to install and it goes to try and pkg_add it, it comes up with an error (exits with -1 appears on VT2). The directory I'm trying to install from looks like: Volume in drive C is MS-DOS_620 Serial number is 2A09:1ACE Directory of c:\freebsd\packages\*.* ALL <DIR> 2-09-96 7:13p APPLICAT <DIR> 2-10-96 1:01p ARCHIVER <DIR> 2-10-96 1:01p AUDIO <DIR> 2-10-96 1:01p BENCHMAR <DIR> 2-10-96 1:01p CAD <DIR> 2-10-96 1:01p COMMS <DIR> 2-10-96 1:01p DATABASE <DIR> 2-10-96 1:01p DEVELOPM <DIR> 2-10-96 1:01p DOCUMENT <DIR> 2-10-96 1:01p EDITORS <DIR> 2-10-96 1:01p EMULATIO <DIR> 2-10-96 1:01p GAMES <DIR> 2-10-96 1:01p GRAPHICS <DIR> 2-10-96 1:01p JAPANESE <DIR> 2-10-96 1:01p LANGUAGE <DIR> 2-10-96 1:01p LIBRARIE <DIR> 2-10-96 1:01p MAIL <DIR> 2-10-96 1:01p MATH <DIR> 2-10-96 1:01p NETWORKI <DIR> 2-10-96 1:01p NEWS <DIR> 2-10-96 1:01p PLAN9 <DIR> 2-10-96 1:01p PRINTING <DIR> 2-10-96 1:01p PROGRAMM <DIR> 2-10-96 1:01p SECURITY <DIR> 2-10-96 1:01p SHELLS <DIR> 2-10-96 1:01p SYSUTILS <DIR> 2-10-96 1:01p UTILITIE <DIR> 2-10-96 1:01p X11 <DIR> 2-10-96 1:01p 00_TRANS.TBL 1453 11-18-95 3:41a INDEX 57118 11-18-95 3:37a INDEX.TXT 56312 11-18-95 3:37a README 857 11-18-95 3:37a 115,740 bytes in 4 files and 29 dirs 163,840 bytes allocated 212,090,880 bytes free ...and the required files are the same as in the CD-ROM, from which I CAN'T install, as it's unsupported. Specifically, I'm trying to install lynx, so I can read the handbook, etc. Any clues?? Thanks. John P.S. I installed the system with DEBUG on and now there's all these messages on VT2 all the time. Can they be removed/DEBUG turned-off somehow on startup? -- John Gibney /\/\ . o O ( Boomerangs... Kites...
