for those of you that are following my introduction to the installation of FreeBSD on the Dell Latitude LM laptop. the reason for my previous errors was that i was only selecting the enter key when making menu selections. i needed to use the space key to actually make the selection. i would have thought that somehow the installation menus would have given me some sort of "hey dummy make a selection" error box instead of moving forward. the installation (3rd time) is going pretty smooth except for the following: "unable to transfer" errors but these resolved themselves when i told it to try again. "unable to fetch package kdebase-1.1.2 from selected media. No package ass will be done" how do i fix this so that i will be able to use the KDE desktop environment ? this window is where i seem to get lost. "Package Selection", do i have to go through each of these and select the ones that i want ? how do i know what i want/need ? i thought i told it what i wanted when i selected the "x-developer" option under the "Choose Distro" window. since this is where i messed up the last 2 times i am waiting for help before i continue..... thanks -- James To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
