Alt-F2 should show you what's being installed, where. Looking at this screen may help you find out why it's stopping. There's also a "shell" on Alt-F4 but at the beginning it doesn't do much until more of the files have been installed. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Scary Gerry -- Senior Systems Manager freymann@scaryg.shacknet.nu -For web-hosting, DNS Services or PHP & MySql programming see www.interpool.ca -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
