Matthew,

Thanks for your help. I have tried that and as far as I can see it is not mounting the drive properly. Is there a boot log I can look at to see what it does (it just flashes past at boot)?

When booting I get the message:

Network package loading was enabled
PKGSRC: Network

I assume it is both Network and Fixed enabled and not just network?

If I mount the drive manually

mount -t ntfs /dev/hda1 /fixed

I can access it fine (read only anyway).

I am assuming the packages are not being added because all I see in /usr/bin is sendip (would expect to see all the packages available here).

Does the pkglist file need to contain only the packages I have on my hard disk, or will it skip ones it can't find?

Also, one last thing, the first time I booted it asked if I would like to load packages from a floppy, I said no, now it does not ask me anymore. Can I enable this option again?

Thanks, Ian
