Last week I downloaded the PCBSD boot only cd and then did an over the 
network install. The first try the PCBSD server timed-out my install. On 
second try the over the network install worked. I had previously 
downloaded the PCBSD DVD .iso, but no matter what I tried I could not 
get it to burn to DVD correctly.
