When I tried to install the system, I found, much to my dismay, that the installation CD was missing critical files needed to install the kernel. When viewing the CD contents and comparing them with the table on page 27 & 28 of the manual, I found that the View.exe file and the Setup.exe along with the Install.exe files were missing from the CD. There were numerous other files missing from the CD that the table showed. I returned the software to the store and when they looked at another box, they found the same problem. Needless to say, I was very disappointed that I had spent all that time and effort and never got off the ground. (Thank goodness the Patriots won the Super Bowl that night). I am at this point completely disillusioned with FreeBSD. I hope that someone takes the time to look into the possibility that other stores may have been delivered the same packages.
