hello everyone!

i recently upgraded my kernel to 2.2.5-STABLE and decided to re-install
some stuff from the 2.2.2-RELEASE CD. i used `/stand/sysinstall' to add
some packages over FTP (the sysinstall program came from freebsd.org
which i downloaded because of the buggy one that was shipped with
2.2.2-RELEASE).

now, the problem is, whenever i try to install a package, it always gives
me an `error code 1' message and does not install the package! it also
tells me to check the debug screen for more info but i could not find the
debug screen since i'm using ttys 0-5 (alt-F1 --> alt-F6).

what could possibly be wrong with the installation procedure? or is it the
`pkg_add' program? 

TIA!

p.s. i'm not on the list :)
