Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi sirs, good day. I have been trying to install the bin distribution of 2.2.5 on my machine. Everything goes well until I reach the floppy disk with bin.ci on it, here it bails out on me. I have gone through, perhaps, 6 partial installations since Sept. 25 and the server that I am working on is for an organization. I pushed bsd as an option(instead of the dreaded microsoft NT option) and now people are begining to bug me, the project will still use bsd but I must quickly justify this to some people. Using a cd rom is not, unfortunately, an option either. Please check to see if the bin.ci (or perhaps bin.cj) file on the server is corrupted ? And if an installation is possible without it ? Thank you sirs for your time. Sincerely Kamal Southall. -- I say that this is a sophisticated form of propaganda and slavery.
