Look for a mirror site that still carries the old 6.0 packages (maybe ftp-archive).

Re: difficulty using pkg_add on 6.0 system
It (csup) is only included in the base system starting with 6.2. It's not present on my system.

difficulty using pkg_add on 6.0 system
Greetings, Sorry if this has been asked before, I did search the archives but couldn't find the information I need. I have a 6.0 system that was installed with the minimum of optional packages. I want to install cvsup so that I can update my ports tree. Trying to use pkg_add to install cvsup, I get the following message: Error: FTP Unable to get ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-6.0-release/Latest/wget.tbz: File unavailable Looking at ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/ I see that there is no longer a directory for 6.0-release. What do I need to do to get an updated ports tree? Should I set PACKAGESITE so that pkg_add can work? And if so, what value should I give it? Or do I need to go in another direction? Thanks in advance. -- Thank you, Lewis Kapell Computer Operations Seton Home Study School ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
