guys, I am having problem to install FreeBSD 3.1 Release over the ftp. I have a old Pentium 75 PC, 24MB Ram, 1.2G of HD, 3Com 3c509 NIC card, that I use for testing, and I have using the this machine to install FreeBSD 2.1.x, 2.2.x with no problem using FTP and from FreeBSD CD-ROM, installing Red-Hat Linux 5.2 also without any problem. I have try to install FreeBSD 3.1 Release since last week but without success, all installation process going ok until it reach the point that downloading the files from the FreeBSD site, it just hang there after downloading about 120kb of files, and look at the debug output, it stop while downloading /bin/bin.aa (I can see bin/cat, bin/chio, downloded, but hang at the point downloading bin/chmod) I have try download the kern.flp and mfsroot.flp from various FreeBSD mirror site, I have try install over ftp using different freebsd mirror site, and I even mirror the entire 3.1-RELEASE to my another unix server and then try in install over ftp through my local network, using local server, it all produce the same result, it just hang after downloading /bin/bin.aa (hang at the point downloading /bin/chmod) Anyone out there experience the same problem ? I do not have 3.1 Release CD, and we have a 128k lease line connection. Horn Wong To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
