To: questions@FreeBSD.org Date: Thu, 1 Jun 1995 16:20:09 -0700 (PDT) X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL23] Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Length: 933 Sender: questions-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi, I've recently bought the Walnut Creek CDROM of FreeBSD 2.0, and have installed most of it just fine, but when I've tried the XFree86 installation (from the install menu) the checksum checks, then there is a message about extracting XFree86, but the disk and the CDROM drive both seem to hang. I have a P5/90, an NCR SCSI-ISA controller, and WinTurbo Mach64 video card from ATI. Walnut Creek said they've heard of this problem before, and I've heard in passing that others have also had this problem. WC suggested email to you. I appreciate any advice you can give. Thanks, -Tim. -------------------------------------------------------------------- W. Timothy Strayer Sandia National Laboratories Distributed Systems Research P.O.
