I recently became a subscriber to the FreeBSD release CDROMs. I would
first like to thank you for the quick response time. I received my
package three days after I placed the order.
But, I feel that I may have have a defective set of CD's. I can read
most of the disk just fine - the installation of 2.2.1 over my previous
installation went flawlessly. I can also read all of the XFree86 files
without error. When I go for installing packages, well, that's where
the trouble begins. Some of the packages are read and installed via
pkg_add without trouble, some cause multiple read errors. For example,
ispell installed OK, but the lyx package caused lots of these:
matcd0: Illegal data mode for this track while reading block xxxxxxx
This is a repeatable error - I can always read the "good" files, and
always get the above error on the "bad" files. Is it possible that
there was a bad pressing run on the CD's?
I'm using the Matshushita [CR563] CD drive attached to a (real) SB16
sound card. I have never experienced any problems reading other CD's
(music or data) before using the Walnut Creek CD's.
Here's my order info:
Bryan Liesner
1736 Riverside Drive
Philadelphia, PA 19154
(215) 824-1556
I ordered the subscription package for $24.95
I would appreciate it if you could send me a replacement set of CD's -
I will gladly ship back the set that I have (if required) upon receipt
of the new set.
