Missing Packages on 96May01 Snap CD?

Post by Michael C. Cambri » Sat, 01 Jun 1996 04:00:00



Hi,

When using sysinstall, packages presented to me, and chosen, cannot be found
on the CD.  I know that some of there do exist (ie. X Free) because I picked
it on an earlier install (via "canned" install), booted and ran fine.  On this
current install (Kern Developer), I wanted to add X later but ran into this
problem.

Have others seen this?

Thanks,
Mike

I had the same problem using ftp as the sysinstall media, its there but
sysinstall can't get it for some reason.  But hey its the SNAP.

I ended up using sup.  I left it in the office after doing a make
world.

I think its all there now, but I can't telnet to my box now and I get an
error loading libc.so.3.0.  When I get a chance I'll try symlinking the
existing lib to the one it wants and see what happens.

There are some ports for which we can't build packages and distribute
them via ftp and/or CDROM, because of various restrictions.

It's not easy to integrate this information into the install program.
Sorry about that, we are trying to fix it.

1. Packages missing from 2.1.5 CD ?

        I am atempting to install FreeBSD from the Walnut Creek 2.1.5 CD.
A good many of the packages that I want to install seem to be in the index,
bit not on the CD.

        Could someone point me to FTP site for these ? Once I have
them do I just run pkg_add on them?

        Thanks in advance.
