Hi nameless person I was told to e-mail someone in support....I have FreeBSD and have tried to install it three times (unsuccessful ), the book is of no help in solving the problem... I have looked on several sites on the net and have not gotten my answers but have been impressed at the clarity and understandablity... My computer is a laptop....I know it could cause problems... my problem is when I boot it loads and there is the choice screen. I choose novice and I choose ALL in the packages choices. My mouse works, I don't have a problem with login ... I DO have a problem looking at the cdrom, I can't load other (third party) packages. When I loaded originally there are about 30 -40 files (???) that were said to be necessary that either aborted or were not found by the install program... Some for instance were ghostscript 5.10 , 4.03 , texTeX-0.4 , XFree86-3.3.2 , and the list goes on... I loaded from a cd and my drive has worked in the auto roll, it is Toshiba , I cannot cat or ls the cdrom... I'm stuck and need help.... I have a 800-453-3498... if it would be easier to talk please do so, I have the problem and don't mind paying the bill.... Is there a posiablilty the cd could be bad....
