And _every time I see /stand/cpio's reports about error in the archive , when installing bindist ? *** bytes of junk , skipping to **** So I end up with first 16% percent of bindist installed , and probably 70% skipped because of this.. I've tried to install from my local ftp site, from freebsd.org,from freefall.cdrom.com - no luck... The installation procedure is very unstable IMHO - I run it probably 18-20 times during last 4 hours :(( , a few real wierd things happened. I'll try to summirize it and port here later. Boot/root floppies are the latest ones ( from UPDATE ). An suggestions ? I actually saw some posting in freebsd group about similar problem and it was said there that the problem is because there used to be some N pieces in bindinst and now there are N[-+]1 and it confuses install procedure . Some guy dealed with it but appending bin.ch to bin.cg , but to me it looks like the distribution I've grabbed today is already updated ? The bin.cg size equals exacly to the size of {previous} bin.cg and bin.ch .... HEEEELP ! Rashid
