>Number: 2486 >Category: bin >Synopsis: 2.2-BETA XF86 install retries starting at the next file >Confidential: no >Severity: critical >Priority: medium >Responsible: freebsd-bugs >State: open >Class: sw-bug >Submitter-Id: current-users >Arrival-Date: Mon Jan 13 21:30:01 PST 1997 >Last-Modified: >Originator: Bill Fenner >Organization: Xerox >Release: 2.2-BETA >Environment: 2.2-BETA install floppy >Description: I left a 2.2-BETA install running when I went to work today. When I got home, there was a dialog box saying that the FTP of XF86bin had failed, do I want to try again? I said yes, went through the reselection, and it started again with XF86inf. Now I have an installation with only a partially extracted XF86bin. >How-To-Repeat: Kill the network during the FTP of XF86bin, then restore it when sysinstall notices. Reselect the same site, and watch it start transferring the next distribution you selected instead of restarting the failed transfer. >Fix: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
