I'm trying to install FreeBSD 2.1 on a compaq 486 box. It doesn't have a CDROM drive, so I'm installing via FTP. IE I ftp to another machine here in the office, and the CD is sitting in THAT machine. The FTP server on that machine points to its CD drive as the home directory for anon ftps. I know this normally works fine because I've used this method to install on several machines in the past. Anyway, when I actually go to do the commit, it sets up the fs, ftps in, starts a transfer, and then a few seconds later I get this message: Failed to retrieve piece file bin.aa! Aborting transfer. Then it asks me if I want to try again. No matter how I respond, the install program crashes at this point. The sig handler says it got sig 11. BTW, I've mailed about this problem before, but I didn't get any reply. I think I had my "reply-to" address set wrong. My email address should work correctly now, if your mail to me was bouncing before. Any help would be appreciated, thanx :) Chris
