Installing from File System
I have setup FreeBSD 5.4, with a minimal installation from the CDRom, I would like to be able to change configuration options, such as adding something from the packages collection on the CDs, or adding more of the distributions at a later point remotely, using /stand/sysinstall. I figured I could copy both cds 1 and 2 into a directory on the machine, and choose file system from the installation media page. All works good up to a point. then I receive a message stating that this is Disc 0 and the packages is on Disc 1. How do I make the install section realize that all of the files are on the file system?

Re: Installing from File System
I do have the same problem and don't really understand the syntax of the INDEX file. I guess the "2" at the end of the line means 2nd CD, but why ""-->there are sometimes more or less pipes at the end of the lines. at-spi-1.6.3_1|/usr/ports/accessibility/at-spi|/usr/X11R6|An Assistive Technology Service Provider Interface|/usr/ports/accessibility/at-spi/pkg-descr|[EMAIL PROTECTED]|accessibility x11-toolkits|ORBit2-2.12.1_1 atk-1.9.1 bitstream-vera-1.10_1 expat-1.95.8 fontconfig-2.2.3,1 freetype2-2.1.9 gail-1.8.2_1 gettext-0.14.1 glib-2.6.3_1 gmake-3.80_2 gtk-2.6.4_1 hicolor-icon-theme-0.5 intltool-0.33jpeg-6b_3 libIDL-0.8.5_1 libXft-2.1.6_1 libart_lgpl2-2.3.17 libbonobo-2.8.1_1 libglade2-2.5.1_2 libgnomecanvas-2.10.0_1 libiconv-1.9.2_1 libtool-1.5.10_1 libxml2-2.6.18 p5-XML-Parser-2.34_1 pango-1.8.1 perl-5.8.6_2 pkgconfig-0.15.0_1 png-1.2.8_1 popt-1.7 python-2.4_1 shared-mime-info-0.15_9 tiff-3.7.1_2 xmlcatmgr-2.2 xorg-fonts-encodings-6.8.2 xorg-fonts-truetype-6.8.2 xorg-libraries-6.8.2|ORBit2-2.12.1_1 atk-1.9.1 bitstream-vera-1.10_1 expat-1.95.8 fontconfig-2.2.3,1 freetype2-2.1.9 gail-1.8.2_1 gettext-0.14.1 glib-2.6.3_1 gnomehier-2.0_6 gtk-2.6.4_1 hicolor-icon-theme-0.5 jpeg-6b_3 libIDL-0.8.5_1 libXft-2.1.6_1 libart_lgpl2- 2.3.17 libbonobo-2.8.1_1 libglade2-2.5.1_2 libgnomecanvas-2.10.0_1 libiconv-1.9.2_1 libxml2-2.6.18 pango-1.8.1 perl-5.8.6_2 pkgconfig-0.15.0_1 png-1.2.8_1 popt-1.7 python-2.4_1 shared-mime-info-0.15_9 tiff-3.7.1_2 xmlcatmgr-2.2 xorg-fonts-encodings-6.8.2 xorg-fonts-truetype-6.8.2 xorg-libraries-6.8.2|http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gap/2 On 10/28/05, Dean Weimer < [EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I have setup FreeBSD 5.4, with a minimal installation from the CDRom, I > would like to be able to change configuration options, such as adding > something from the packages collection on the CDs, or adding more of the > distributions at a later point remotely, using /stand/sysinstall.

I knew I was missing something really simple, that did the trick.

RE: Installing from File System
I am guessing, this is a complete guess, that some of the packages have a different number of options, and/or dependencies, yet every package has to have the same number of fields. I could be way off here, but in any case I modified my packages index file as follows. sed -i .bak1 -E s/"\|1$"/"\|0"/g INDEX sed -i .bak2 -E s/"\|2$"/"\|0"/g INDEX The $ sign will make it match at the end of the line, so as to avoid any lines that may have |1 or |2 contained within the middle of them. (There are some, I checked) Also of note, I usually use the csh shell, but I could figure out how to escape the $, kept getting illegal variable name, so I used the sh shell for these 2 lines) This worked fine for the packages I installed so far, but I may have only done a few since doing this, so I may have missed something.
