Hi! I was doing fresh and clean setup of FreeBSD 3.4-RELEASE installation on one of my friends' box (that's over a month already from when I first heard about FreeBSD :-) I've done the following: wget -b -t 0 -r ftp://ftp1.ru.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/3.4-RELEASE (NOTE: I don't have any of packages nor ports/distfiles -- no even such dir -- symlink ~packages after 'wget' in the install dir points nowhere) to get local copy on my fBSD box (I will install via ftp from there). Then, got kern.flp from /floppies and mfsroot.flp from /floppies/updates, booted fine; and everything went all right except that when I tried to commit changes, it said that "unable to install the following:" and empty list (just the warning window and the message, but not stating what exactly it was unable to install -- that seems strange to me already). I said "retry" and it was fetching comapt22 tarz (the progress indicator went on), with the same message at the end (something like "cannot install what you want 'cause it appears not to be on the installation media you've selected"). I've checked all md5 sums and file/dir permissions -- all four compat dirs (11, 20, 21, 22) seem to be ok where they belong; I'm installing all four of them and 22 is the only one that doesn't work. Am I missing something silly here? First, I thought that maybe I need something except compat22.?? files (i.e. some packages I don't have), but that would be strange -- I can have all other compat's, and for some weird reason, cannot have comapt22. Ideas? Any information will be greatly appreciated. When I was installing 3.3-RELEASE some time ago, I didn't have any problems with compat22 (I did have all the packages though). ,--------------------------------------, ____ ___ _______ | Alexey N.
