Since then, the ghost of instant-server has been haunting the FreeBSD base system, spooking unsuspecting users who like having a tip or two at their login prompt and try to install a port that does not exist.
Basically, we need to take out this tip because it is no longer applicable and won't work on all supported systems. >How-To-Repeat: You can get a good generic server install by using the instant-server port/package. If you have ports installed, you can install it by doing # cd /usr/ports/misc/instant-server # make install && make clean as root. This will install a collection of packages that is appropriate for running a "generic" server. >Fix: Apply the attached patch. This was generated weirdly, but should be applied to the fortune data files cleanly.
