I had been using Redhat Linux for the last couple of years and I thought it was time for a change. Here are my "questions": I bought the FreeBSD powerpack, it comes with two flavors of FBSD - 4.0 and 5.0-current. I figured I would err on the side of caution and install 4.0. What then ensued was the following; There was an error installing XFonts, I retried and it finished ok. When I tried to select Gnome/Enlightenment, the installation went fine until it got to enlightenment where it claimed that enlightenment was not contained in the index. What's the deal? I am pretty sure it is not the installation media, I tried a downloaded iso and got the same behavior. The index message also said something about inserting different media and retrying, the only problem there is that the cdrom is mounted/locked! I would appreciate any and all suggestions.
