[-- Attachment #1 --] Hello! New guy on the list here... At home I'm installing FreeBSD on my desktop (a Dell Dimension XPS T500) via CDROM. It's got a 500MHz processor, 6GB hard drive, 384 MB RAM, an Diamond Viper V770 video card with 16MB RAM, a Sound Blaster Live Value sound card, and a Netgear FA310 NIC.... ANYWAY, I get to the point where it actually installs the packages, and then it seems to lock up when it's installing cvsupit-3.1. There's no error message, just this: ADDING PACKAGE/ALL/cvsupit-3.1.tgz From acd0c Package cvsupit-3.1 read successfully - waiting for pkg_add(1) That sounds like it would be a normal message, but in 2 attempts at install, I've gotten the same thing. Is that a NIC problem? Is it trying to go to the internet to do something, or is it just maybe a bad CD burn?Now, at hardware discovery it didn't find the exact module for my NIC, but I didn't see anywhere in the handbook where it said you had to have that driver done right then. So, I let it go...It let me put in my IP information without any problems later, so I thought it would be working fine. One thing that I noticed was a little strange was that when setting up the NIC, it asked me for my local DNS server, and I don't have one of those, so I gave it 198.6.1.5 (a UU Net server, if I'm not mistaken) as a DNS server. Could that cause the problem? I'm totally new to *BSD and a pretty big newbie to *nix in general, so any help would be appreciated! Thanks, Chris [-- Attachment #2 --] <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <META content="MSHTML 6.00.2716.2200" name=GENERATOR> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=#ffffff> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hello!
