-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Tried /stand/sysinstall the other night from my laptop running fbsd 4.3 stable to add a package. Got error message on all servers: Unable to get packages/INDEX file from selected media. This may be because the package collection is not available on the distribution media you've chosen, most likely an FTP site without the packages collection mirrored. Please verify that your media, or your path to the media, is correct and try again. Couldn't get in any of the servers, but could get in from my dual-boot desktop running fbsd 4.5 release. The only thing I've done recently on the laptop is chmod 644 to /dev/null to fix user access for xwindows & chmod on some files in users .gnupg dir to get gpg working right. Is there something to fix in my paths for root? Thanks for any help. Not looking for a quick fix, just where to read about what I'm doing wrong. "Of course I'm paranoid! You'd be paranoid too, if everyone was out to get you!" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (FreeBSD) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE818g6y0Ty5RZE55oRAs2+AJoCntbGTAGVvtwCarjB8y8Zq1ihzACfUVZz 7mQfBY/HufJoqZlC8rGp6Ww= =59CY -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
