Just create your two Freebsd 4.2 floppies (kernel and mfsroot) and do a network (I used ftp) install. Very simple to do and you get the packages you need. After that I had no problems getting various ports. I on the other hand had tons of problems with the 4.0 cd. Guess it depends on your hardware somehow.

It installed fine until i tried to add packages. It failed on everything except emacs. I have a copy of FreeBSD 4.0 and it installed the packages fine all on the first CD. Do I need to download anything else from FREEBSD.org other than the ISO.
