Before 4.6 it was Firewall with FreeBSD 4.3 for about a year without any problems. The IDE cable is NOT ATA66 this is true! I was able to continue the installation with FTP installation instead of CDROM. It may be due to bad CDROM drive or changes into ATA driver, I don't know yet. The FTP installation may take little bit longer because of the load on the ftp.freebsd.org but you can try to find a mirror close to you! Hope that helps! --Miro ----- Original Message ----- From: "Matthew Plews" To: Sent: Monday, June 17, 2002 5:55 AM Subject: FreeBSD 4.6 Install Problem Hi, i just downloaded the freebsd 4.6 iso and tried installing it on my computer. everything works fine up untill it goes to "Extracting bin into / directory' then it just freezes at 0%... i've tried reinstalling several times but everytime it just stops there.. i've had no problems with this on 4.4 or 4.5... thanks in advance matt plews@bigpond.net.au To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
