Failed to find dozens of packages Date: 29 Jan 1997 18:33:07 GMT Organization: Appalachian State University Lines: 17 Message-ID: <5co553$ckt@lester.appstate.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: xx.acs.appstate.edu X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] Xref: euryale.cc.adfa.oz.au comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc:34702 Just completed my first FTP install of FreeBSD 2.1.6-RELEASE. Dozens of packages failed to install because it couldn't find them on the remote site. I'm now experiencing a number of problems with the system. No elm. Apache wouldn't compile. There's a bunch of gibberish in PINE where the highlighted menus are, etc. Before I do anymore trouble shooting, should I try to reinstall? Or get an older version of FreeBSD? I'd appreciate any advice from the group. Thanks. Kinney Baughman
