Re: Howto install ports collection?
Hi gurus! I have a remote FreeBSD computer (RELEASE 4.7 stable). It is on the other side of Earth. I can access it only with ssh. It is really a base system. The ports collection (/usr/ports) is entirely missing. I'm familiar with installing ports. But I have no idea how to install the ports collection using only an ssh shell. Please give me a direction. Thanks in advance, Laci 1.0 The easiest way (if you have root access) is to use the CVSUP system. It is well described in the handbook, and the handbook is available online on www.freebsd.org . If you do not have the cvsup util already installed, you need to find it and compile it yourself, after you fetch it from the web. Or better, get a .tgz version which is a precompiled package. Search for the source of it on www.freebsd.org/ports/ Thanks for all your help. I'm currently installing apache2. :-) Laci 1.0 ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

See the handbook http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/index.html chapter "Using the Ports Collection". It says: 1. As root, run /stand/sysinstall 2. Scroll down and select Configure, press Enter. 3. Scroll down and select Distributions, press Enter. 4. Scroll down to ports, press Space. 5. Scroll up to Exit, press Enter. 6. Select your desired installation media, such as CDROM, FTP, and so on. 7. Scroll up to Exit and press Enter. 8. Press X to exit sysinstall. After that, use cvsup, to bring them up-to-date. I suppose you know how to do the cvsup stuff. Rob. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Search for the source of it on www.freebsd.org/ports/ A very simple CVSUP config file to get the ports collection looks like this: *default host=cvsup2.FreeBSD.org *default base=/usr *default prefix=/usr *default release=cvs *default delete use-rel-suffix *default compress #tag=. means FreeBSD-CURRENT *default tag=. #src-all ports-all Then just load 'cvsup file.sup', will do it. Check the man pages of all the mentioned tools before. Alin. smime.p7s Description: S/MIME Cryptographic Signature
