The machine I am installing to does not have a CDROM or internet connection, so I am installing via FTP over a LAN from a win95 machine running the WAR FTP daemon - fetching the files from a local CDROM drive. Basically, when it starts to install XF86, the installation stops. I get a message similar to 'FTP shutdown called'. After turning on the DEBUG option, it became clearer: The installation program seems to be trying to fetch 'XF86322/X322fnts.inf'. The FTP server replies with 'Permission denied', because the file does not exist on the CD (or on ftp.freebsd.org). I am not using the CD from walnut creek, but have recently downloaded the 2. 2.7-RELEASE tree from ftp.freebsd.org (using the on-the-fly tar feature of the ftp site), and then burnt this onto a CD myself. Is this a known problem with the 2.2.7 installation procedure? I can work around this by installing X manually after a normal install has completed, but I would like to know if others have had this problem too.
