It's a good idea to leave the previous messages when you reply. Did the entire installation actually complete or were you on the "install distribution" section of the installation when you started having problems? If you had problems before a distribution set could be installed, then you didn't really do anything more than format your disks. Are you trying to install off FTP? If so, make sure your network information was entered properly. What exactly are you seeing for error messages? "could not find the server" or "could not find the distribution set" or something else? I wish I had more advice for you, but you really need to provide more detail about what you're trying to do for anyone to help. > Does this mean I should get the CD or is there a way out? Buying the CD definately makes things easier. -- Bill Moran Potential Technologies http://www.potentialtech.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
