In addition, I am limited to two hours per day. Hence, my connection is limited. Saying that, I finally downloaded the 14MB required to do a binary install (2.0.5-ALPHA directory on freebsd.org....BTW, it's quite silly that there is a ftp.freebsd.org, and then freebsd.org!). Fantastic! I went to install....downer. At 15% the debugging screen starts spewing nonending checksum errors on "stand/cpio"... Is this a defective file? Actually, I should mention that I started getting the files originally from ftp.cdrom.com, and then switched to freebsd.org halfway through. The whole process took about 4 days. If there is a defective file, is there any way for me to find which it is without resorting to regetting all of the files? BTW: You guys are doing an incredible job. I really am amazed such a product exists without a four figure price: just ask the guy I spoke to when originally talking to your product with Walnut Creek... ;^) Humorous phone call!
