I can use the package_add utility to install sucsessfully, but would like to understand the procedure to set up sysinstall for future system setups. The directory structure on the FBSD box is /FreeBSD/packages/all/samba The INDEX file is located in /FreeBSD/packages, and the samba directory contains the file "samba-1.9.15p8.tgz". My INDEX file contents look like this "samba-1.9.15p8|/FreeBSD/packages/all/samba/samba-1.9.15p8|/usr/local|A LanManager(R)-compatible server suite for Unix|/FreeBSD/packages/all/samba/pkg/DESCR||" I also created a pkg directory below the samba directory and put these files in it COMMENT containing "A LanManager(R)-compatible server suite for Unix" DESCR containing "The Samba suite is a set of programs which run under the FreeBSD operating system. These programs deliver most of the important functionality of a Microsoft Lan Manager server. That is, they support remote access to FreeBSD filespace and FreeBSD printers from Lan Manager compatible clients. In practical terms, this means that such clients can connect to and use FreeBSD filespace as if it was a local disk drive, or FreeBSD printers as if they were local printers.Some of the most popular Lan Manager compatible clients include LanManager itself, Windows or Workgroups, OS/2 and Windows NT."
