Greetings I've had some problems with the 3.0 -current install. During obtaining the scontrib 'package' somehow the line dropped to my ISP. The install program didn't reognize this fact. I hit alt F3 and re-established the connection. After a while the install program didn't recognize the line had gone down and been re-established. I hit ^C, then the install program realized the line went down and then logged back into ftp://freebsd.org. Here's where the problem comes into play. When the install program logged back into the ftp site it went on to the next 'package'. I was only able to D/L up to 'chunk 12 of 60'. How do I get the rest of this 'package' installed into my freebsd box? As far as I know, everything else instaled OK. Am I going to have to D/L everything again? Please say no, because at this point, I can drive up to Wlanut creek faster than I can D/L the whole thing over again. I haven't been able to get user ppp up and running because I cant even find lynx (The /usr/local/bin directory doesn't exist). Right now I'm using Mickey$oft lose95 on my laptop to access email using Netscape. Another ?: How do I get the ports collection installed (like the way you can do it with the CDROM). I really like having that setup, however (I haven' tried too hard to figure it out yet) I can't figure out how to set that up again. FYI: I have the CDROM for 2.1.5R. I upgraded to 2.2 -Beta in january w/o complication, but do to user error (by misinterpreting a dialog box from the install program) nuked my entire previous setup. Oh, well. I just want to 3.0-current up and running. Thanks in advance for you help. Burton Sampley
