From: Gardner on 13 Jun 2010 22:49 I have a new 8.0 installation. When I try to use sysinstall to install packages from an FTP source, it crashes immediately after selecting "network is already configured". Segmentation fault: 11 (core dumped) (gdb) where #0 0x08060bfc in ?? () #1 0x2e707466 in ?? () #2 0x2838912f in ?? () #3 0x000000ff in ?? () #4 0x080b9ce8 in ?? () #5 0x0000ea00 in ??

Any known work-around or fix? I have seen a fix committed recently. the workaround is to use pkg_add -r to install packages instead of sysinstall. -- Michel TALON

I like having the menu of packages to choose from. Figuring out the syntax for what to install is a little hit or miss too. "pkg_add -r apache" gives me 1.3, for example. "pkg_add -r ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-stable /All/apache-2.2.15_9.tbz" gets me the version I want, but not for -CURRENT. ____________________________________________________________________ Gardner Buchanan gbuchana(a)teksavvy(dot)com FreeBSD: Where you want to go.
