pkgbasify system failed to fetch

Ok, I tried once more, this time following petan's guide exactly. I think part of the problem may have been that I was doing some things out of order. The only thing I did differently than that writeup was running
Code: 
env ABI=FreeBSD:15:amd64 pkg-static -c /mnt/upgrade upgrade -r FreeBSD-base
for a 3rd time. (In his guide it runs twice.) The second time didn't seem to pick up the new base. Now, that it seems I have it working, I'll have to try a few more times, (as it only takes around 15 minutes to set up a 14.3 install, then update it to -p7. But I'm pretty sure that between Erichans and petan you folks have given me the solution and I'm grateful.
]
 
And, once again I tried (actually twice more) and it fails. I run the
Code: 
env ABI=FreeBSD:15:amd64 pkg-static -c /mnt/upgrade upgrade -r FreeBSD-base
line, then run it again, but it doesn't look for 15.0. So, at this point, I think I'm going to wait for the handbook to give a method that works. petan's method does work for me, but not consistantly, and I cannot find what I'm doing differently when it works and when it doesn't.
 
Ok, I do think I've figured it out. While following petan's method, I think the reason it wasn't working is that I was mistyping his commands and instead of doing
env ABI=FreeBSD:15:amd64 pkg-static -c /mnt/upgrade update -r FreeBSD-base<br> envABI=FreeBSD:15:amd64 pkg-static -c /mnt/upgrade upgrade -r FreeBSD-base<br># chroot /mnt/upgrade
I was running upgrade update twice instead of update upgrade. I want to test a couple of more times to be sure but I think that with the help of petan and Erichans, I've gotten it to work for me.
 
Are you running tldr or texinfo packages by chance scottro it’s something I run a lot on my Linux distributions at the terminal. They’re pretty awesome.

I just got my 15 install running and it’s pretty snappy.

With tldr and texinfo packages you can run commands like tldr <freebsd command here> or info <freebsd command here>

Helps you navigate easily on base system at the terminal.

Also the bat package which is an alternative to cat prints out easier to read output at the terminal. These should be available at the ports tree for the OG’s - ports collection

Best of luck
 
Thanks, I'm familiar with bat and with the names of the other two, but haven't tried that. Seems like a good idea to try. P
