I started the install again and these were the errors==> "Unable to transfer the bin distribution from 192.168.0.1:/cdrom. Do you want to try to retrieve it again?" On the second console where all the messages are there was ==> "mount_nfs: can't update /var/db/mounttab for 192.168.0.1:/cdrom" Dont know what that 2nd message is about, anyone.......someone, help me??? _________________________________________ Steiny's Studio Pachyderm Productions http://steiny.hypermart.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
