I'm currently loading the new 3.4-RELEASE on my main system and I believe I've found a problem with the install. I'm using the boot floppies with a novice install and loading via ftp.freebsd.org through a win95 proxy server. Whenever I get to the point to select my distribution I get a signal 11 when I select a custom distribution install. I did this 3 times with the exact same error. The archives indicate a probable memory failure, but not giving up yet I went ahead and tried one more install selecting one of the "canned" distribution sets. 7.5 hours later it is still happily installing so it looks as if it is not memory after all. In this situation my hardware is probably irrelevant but here it is: PII-350 192 Megs RAM Seagate 20 Gig Drive Graphics Blaster video w/8 megs Ampton PII-3100B MB w/i440BX AGP chipset I'd prefer a custom install and I may even get the CD when Walnut Creek releases it....we may need to ensure this problem doesn't exist on the CD. I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas...and I just can't wait to try out my new Applixware Office for FreeBSD :) Michael G.
