Can not rmdir

[Edouard Saksonov]

Hi,
I've just installed FreeBSD 5.1, everything is fine, but when I wanted to remove a 
directory(with only one file in it), the system do not want to do that:
When I type 
rmdir -p dir_name,  it gives me as an output :
rmdir: dir_name: Directory not empty   
When I try 
rmdir -rf dir_name,  it gives me as an output :
rmdir: illegal option --r
usage: rmdir [-p] directory ...
 
I installed FreeBSD 5.1 from the CD-ROM which comes with Linux CD magazine
Maybe something's wrong with this CD ?
 
Thanks in advance for your answer
Edward

post-installation problem

[Edouard Saksonov]

Hi,
I have installed FreeBSD 4.0 on my PC 
I did boot from CDROM, but in the Media I had to put DOS, cause my PC refuses
to install everything from CDROM (may be not of supported type). So, I copied whole 
CDROM to C/FREEBSD, and I used DOS partition for install. Everything went O.K.
I configured and installed my new kernel, system did boot with no problem, but
now, when I'd like to install something from Packges (like shells or less), I get only 
a message that it was impossible to find and get system distribution files.
I tried to fetch packages and from DOS and from existing FreeBSD file system
(I copied whole disk in /usr/FREEBSD), but it doesn't work.I can not install any 
program.
 
Thanks in advance for your answer.
Edward.
