freebsd stable - Nov 2003 - how to make $PACKAGES/INDEX

Hello,

I recently learnt how to build my own packages for my disc1 iso.  However, I 
didn't how to build the $PACKAGES/INDEX which I believe to be used for 
package selection during the new system installation.  If there a way to do 
it or I just copy the /usr/ports/INDEX to $PACKAGES/INDEX.  Thanks.

Clarence

Copy the INDEX file from /usr/ports.
You can scrub non-present entries with 
/usr/ports/Tools/scripts/release/scrubindex.pl
