Hi list.

I know you are all busy discussing electricity issues but maybe one of you can 
take a moment to answer this.

Browsing my new CDs for first time ever, I am a little confused and I am 
seeking clarification.  Is the following normal?  Because when I think about 
it, can really over 14,000  packages (amd64 + hppa) fit on a CD.  I am puzzled.

marst:349$ pwd
/mnt/5.4/packages/amd64
marst:350$ ls -l
total 25238
-r--r--r--  1 root  wheel      539 Aug  5 17:25 TRANS.TBL

I guess the question is are all the binaries supposed to be on CD because if I 
follow instructions as per booklet:

% su
Password : <root password>
# mount /dev/cd0a /mnt
# /mnt/5.4/packages/amd64
# pkg_add emacs-21.4p23.tgz

That's not working.  Well it worked when my $PKG_PATH was still set on ftp but 
I suppose PKG_PATH is supposed to be set to the CD path.

Also nowhere on CD2 I can find the soundtrack.  I suppose that should be easy.  
I would really need a song at the moment.

Hi Mario,

The song is on the i386 + loongson + vax cd:

port:fred ~> sudo mount -t cd9660 /dev/cd0a /mnt/cd
Password:
port:fred ~> ls /mnt/cd/
5.4        PACKAGES   README     etc
HARDWARE   PORTS      TRANS.TBL  song54.mp3

And yes there are only 9 packages on the CD - the rest can be download from one of the mirrors.

There is only so much that can be put on 3 CDROMs.

Cheers

Fred
