Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk 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. ____ | _ \ | |_) |_ __ _ _ __ _ _ __ | _ <| '__| | | |/ _` | '_ \ ====================== | |_) | | | |_| | (_| | | | | = Powered by FreeBSD = |____/|_| \__, |\__,_|_| |_| ====================== __/ | |___/
