I'm not able to from a DOS partition. And ditto trying with disks. I installed FBSD from a DOS partition but I can't with the packages. But with the new 2.2.1 I was able to install the ports that way. But none of the port files are executable. I'm guessing I'm supposed to decode them somehow....does anyone have any suggestions. Thanks for everyone's time :) -Deke Swallen
