Hey there,
 
Is there a problem with the 4.3 = installer which=20 makes it really slow? See below for problem discription...
 
I downloaded the FreeBSD 4.3 image = through ftp with=20 getright which segmented it into 8 segments, then I burned it to CD = (12speed)=20 and ran the install. At first it went very fast, only when I came to the = /usr or=20 the /bin (don't exactly remember... one of both) installation it was = only=20 reading at like 20kByte/s (indicated by installer) first I thought it = might be=20 the CD so I went back to the ftp and downloaded it with CuteFTP this = time so it=20 wouldn't be segmented and burned at 8speed this time (same CD = brand/type) but=20 this install does exactly the same, some stuff just goes plain slow. So = I booted=20 into windows but this can copy the entire CD to HDD in like 12mins which = is a=20 fairly reasonable time for my CD player to copy a full (650MB) CD. So it = can't=20 be any read problems. Also I got slackware 8 ISO's and burned them at = 12speed=20 (again same CD brand/type all burned in the same recorder also) and the=20 slackware installer (just estimating here) copies with around 2MByte/s=20 (estimated by time it takes to install packages, it does give the size = of the=20 packages).
