Thanks to all who offered assistance when I was experiencing problems. Things went smoother when I installed FreeBSD 4.2 on the second drive and didn't even look at anything on the first (WIN98) drive. Then, System Commander helped with booting into each OS/hard disk. Now, I'm experiencing a problem I haven't seen before. During the install of FreeBSD, when I went to choose and install KDE as the desktop manager, I got the following errors: >Adding packeages/All/xpm-3.4k.tgz (as a dependency from acd0c >Add of package xpm-3.4k aborted, error code 1 - >Please check the debug screen for more info >acd0: READ_BIG_MEDIUM ERROR asc=11 ascq=05 >error=00 >Loading of dependant package xpm-3.4k failed >kdebase -1.1.2.1 failed >An error occurred while adding the package(s) >required by this desktop type. Please >change the installation media and/or select >a different, perhaps simpler, desktop >environment and try again. I've tried installing the desktop manager with /stand/sysinstall and get the same thing, even when choosing the other desktop managers. None of them will install. Could anyone help me with this or point me to some online docs that tell how to fix this? Any help/response would be greatly appreciated.
