      Hi all

      I'm not totally new to *nix nad BSD, but I have not enough knowledge to find out where to start and to search.

      I have just installed a daily snapshot of 2.0 (embedded), switching from my 1.2.3.
      I want to add new packages (i.e. nano text editor). But when installing them using "pkg_add -r xxxxx" i get an error message:

      install-info: not found
      pkg_add: command 'install-info --quiet [.......]
      

      How can I make sure "install-info" is available and working?

      Thanks for your help!

        Don't bother with nano though, just use ee, it's just as easy and already built-in.

        As for the install-info error, it's harmless. The package still installs, but doesn't install the info pages (like man pages but usually more in-depth)
