Hello,
Can anyone explain, how can I install more distribution into a running freebsd from the root directory. for example if my initial freebsd installation was only customed to install the bin (required) distribution only, how can I install other distributions like the games distribution, the man distribution, the crypto distribution and etc.
thanks,
You should be able to add to your installation using sysinstall. First start your modem connection loggen in as root. Then do the the following
#/stand/sysinstall
from the main menu select Upgrade an existing system
press enter when you get the message "First, you must select some distribution components. ..."
on the next screen select the option Custom by highlighting it and pressing space bar
the next screen should show a list of available distributions, highlight those you wish to install and press space bar to select them
after you've done this press enter which will return you to the Choose Distributions screen. Press enter again to get to a confirmation question.
I'm using an old version of FreeBSD here to check this so I hope this is still valid. If this isn't right hopefully someone else will correct it.
Cheers...John
