The FreeBSD bindist installed without a hitch. But how can I install additional packages? I tried /sbin/sysinstall and then "fix it", since the only other possible option was full install, but fixit mode somehow made me lose my assignments. I ended up reinstalling FreeBSD from scratch, only this time with both bindist and manpage. I don't want to have to do that everytime I want to ad a package. What am I missing (Also, isn't the DOS partition supposed to be automatically mounted at start-up?) TIA, -- Lucky Green <shamrock@netcom.com> PGP encrypted mail preferred.
