[Help 7.2] FreeBSD 7.2

[IgorGlock]

Hello!

My english is very bad , but I need help!

I'm that: login - [CMD="sysinstall"][/CMD] - Configure - Distributions - [X] ports - [ OK ] - FTP(Germany:\) - Extracting ports into /usr directory...

than after some minutes it's aborted and I can see this:

[ ] ports

what I'm doing wrong?

Try another server or try fetch(1)ing it manually (outside sysinstall of course) from the FTP and untar it.

hmmn.. it doesnt work! ... [ ] ports
I do it this way:

1. fetch ftp://ftp.uk.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/7.2-RELEASE/ports/ports.tgz

2. fetch ftp://ftp.uk.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/7.2-RELEASE/ports/install.sh

3. sh install.sh or ./install.sh

4. wait some minutes...

Any reason why you're not simply using portsnap(8) instead of trying to install an outdated ports tree from CD/FTP?

I have RooT Server... i can't put my CD in :r

I musst install from FTP or HTTP :stud

If you have Internet connectivity, portsnap should work just fine.

can you say me the CMD? :f
because that's wouldn't work: fetch portsnap

You didn't mention what went wrong the first time. The tree's 40+ MBs so it might take a while to download. Did you make sure it's not corrupt (md5/sha256)?

It's an application in the base system. Read its man page.
