The major problem I saw is that I couldn't find any mention of the packages on the CD/DVD in any of the menus. Is there really no way of installing them, or did I manage to overlook it? I ran through it twice and ended up using sysinstall both times to install the packages. -- Carl Johnson [email protected] _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
