During install i got all kinds of messages saying thate.g. kdbase failed xbin failed kdebase failed gtk-12.7. failed errorcode 1 xman failed etc. Have there been wrong distibutions put onto ftp sites and distibution disks? I tried using FTP from friday untill sunday night. This costs me about 2-3$ per hour. Before that i downloaded an iso image and put that on cd; after that i tried another from "Maarten Steenbergen" and that did not work either. I have put all kinds of questions into several newsgroups. Bu basically the answers are no good to me, as i am not able to put a good freebsd installation on my pc.... That is very awkward, as Freebsd recognises e.g. my ethernet card whereas (mandrake) linux does not do that (yet). can you help me?
