I have installed FreeBSD 2.1.6 and need some assistance in setting up a
directory structure and INDEX file for package installs from my /usr file
system (/usr/tmp/packages/.....). The combinations of paths etc... in my
hacked INDEX file have not
worked. When using sysconfig and setting the media path I can get the
packages recognized but install fails to find the source .tgz file.

Thank you in advance
