I am trying to install the 950202 SNAP of FreeBSD on my 386-40 with two IDE drives. If you want to skip the gory details, go to the next paragraph. I have successfully copied the cpio and boot floppies and installed the filesystems on my hard drives. I have copied the entire set of distribution files onto my C: drive under directory names identical to those in the SNAP. I have attempted to install the binary package from my DOS partition and from DOS floppies. CD ROM and tape are not options with this system. So here's the problem... When I attempt to install the binaries, I get a checksum error. I did find two files (bin.bt and bin.bu) which I had to download again, but now all of my checksums match what the CKSUMS file says. I do not get a message concerning a particular file. SO, am I stupidly overlooking something simple due to my lack of experience with FreeBSD, or what? The sad part is that I have installed quite a few SCO systems, and even some UnixWare systems - I thought this one looked *so* easy. Anyway, rather than ramble on about possible solutions, I will stop now and just ask for HELP. Thanks so much for your attention ----- Marshall John Wells "Mush" Email: MWELLS@Data.Basix.COM
