I am able to successfully install freeBSD 4.2 release and x11 from a DOS = hard drive, but have run into constant problems while installing anything = from the packages distribution. I try to install sawfish and gnome using = sysinstall but after reading the index, I receive error messages saying it = is unable to fetch any of the componets, even though they are in the = proper directories on the DOS drive. =20 I then tried to install over a PPP connection, but mysteriously the = process stops downloading after receiving about 17408 bytes of the first = componet (gettext) . I tried this several times using different ftp sites = and between passive and active modes, but the results are always identical.= It reads the index, starts downloading gettext, and then just stops = downloading anything. The modem lights show it is still online, but it = just stops downloading.=20 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
