Hi,

My name is Joe LaLumiere, Systems Admin for Inter.net, formerly TIAC.  We 
have been using FreeBSD on our servers for some time and like your product.

I had installed 4.4 RC1 on Thursday successfully.  Unfortunately, I had to 
perform a reinstall on Tuesday only to find that RC1 no longer existed.  I 
then went and installed 4.3 instead.  The security expert then informed me 
that 4.3 contains many bugs and to try and install 4.4 RC3.

After many failed attempts (using several different mirror sites as well), 
I'm writing to let you know what I have encountered.  The installation gets 
to the point where it is transferring the scontrib distribution and dies at 
chuck 68 of 134.  4.3 installed fine on this same system.

Can you let me know whether this is a real issue or just something I'm 
experiencing?  Also, is there someway to get 4.4 RC3 installed?
