Lines: 13 Message-ID: <313F1E2E.53A3@cdngateway.pe.ca> NNTP-Posting-Host: 205.151.204.114 Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Mailer: Mozilla 2.0 (Win16; I) I most happily got the ftp installation to work in putting FreeBSd on, I am however having one small problem with the packages. They won't install. I am using the latest snap version (got one of them dam intel 100b cards), and when i go to install the packages from any of the ftp sites, it comes up with an error , cant find /INDEX and stops there. The error specifies that maybe the ftp site is mirrored and doesn't have the packages, then again i tried the home site and it was a no go. Other than that all the basic stuff is working......now to to hook it up to the other 3 os we have here..:). Any ideas on the reason for the problem or a simple solution will be nice. Phil Holmstrom
