I have installed 4.1.1 release off of a iso image downloaded from the ftp site. I have used this cd before for other installs. I believe the cd is ok. I am trying to install some of the ported applications, and am running into a snag. It seems that when you try to add XFree86-4.0.1 (Server) it hangs waiting for pkg_add. I believe it is trying ask questions but does not show the questions. You can sit and wait forever for nothing to happen. I see a dialogue process running and chewing up all available processor time. It is a yes/no and asks a question. This dialogue did not show on the screen, so I think it is stuck waiting for user input. I am still running the generic kernel after the initial restart. Very little has been configured on the machine as such, so I don't think there is a conflict. Another package exhibits the same behavior, cvsupit is waiting to ask questions on how you want to run it. It works if you make it in the ports directory. What is going on?
