So... fix it, right?<br>
That's why pkg doesn't work.<br>
<br>
I don't know how you set VM up, or if you set up networking when you<br>
installed DragonFly. You could have selected DHCP in the installer and<br>
it would probably be working now.<br>
<br>
Your issues are now past pkg.<br>
But we can't continue doing one step at a time over a mail list. You<br>
are basically expected to look for documentation follow though. In<br>
other words, "Your network isn't set up" is a cue to go find the<br>
networking documentation and set it up. We're just pointing you in the<br>
right direction.<br>
<br>
If you really need step-by-step instructions then doing it over IRC<br>
(#dragonflybsd at EFNET) is better if you can find a kind soul but its a<br>
lot to ask someone so you should really try to learn as much as you can<br>
by yourself and only ask for help when you are really stuck.<br>
<br>
good luck!<br>
