Re: Distributions are missing from home burnt CD
Distributions, by nature, shouldn't be on the disc... they are outdated the moment they are made into an ISO. run these commands: These are written assuming you are in as root. # ftp ftp://ftp3.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/ports/ports.tar.gz This is a 50MB file. It will take some time. I have found ftp3.freebsd.org to be the fastest server in the US. # mkdir /usr/ports # chown root:wheel /usr/ports # tar -xzf ./ports.tar.gz -C /usr/ports/ Capital C is required there... it will shift you to the folder you need. You can now build your programs as you need to. /usr/ports/shells/bash* This is also the most current version of the ports since you are getting it straight off the server. -- Ryan On Aug 1, 2011, at 9:02 PM, Grant Walter wrote: Hi guys, I burned a CD of the LiveFS image and my installation failed.

There are a couple of ways that you can get bash and other software. First, you can use sysinstall. Read section 2.10.11 Install Packages in the Handbook. It can be accessed here: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/install-post.html Or, you can install the ports collection which also contains bash and lots of other software. To install the ports collection use portsnap. You can read about it in the Handbook section 24.3 Portsnap: A Ports Collection Update Tool. That can be accessed here: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/updating-upgrading-portsnap.html ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Unless I'm missing something completely, portsnap makes sure that you always have the latest ports, and it verifies the integrity of the files that it transfers using a secure key.

Is portsnap installed? I was going with the effed up installer route. :) This works - I tried it when I wrote up the directions.
