Hello, This may be due to a bug in 3.1-Release, where you must have the distributions directly under c:\ and not c:\FreeBSD\ - have a look in the mailing lists archives. I have looked in http://www.freebsd.org/releases/3.1R/errata.html and I don't find anything - Strange (furthermore the link to ERRATA.TXT seems to be broken : ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/3.1-RELEASE/ERRATA.TXT - it does not fit in the new "branches" scheme) TfH Shawn Leas wrote: > > I'm having a problem I cannot get past.
