Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi, My question is: Did I just get a CD's from a badly burned batch or is this how release 3.4 is supposed to be ? I received FreeBSD 3.4, two days ago. Upon trying to install it I have found that it is not bootable. Somehow I managed to get it installed, but so many things seem to be acting strange. -XF86Setup, graphical X setup, just plain fails to start up. -Fetchmailconf spews the following: inconsistent dedent File "/usr/local/libexec/fetchmailconf.bin", line 1131 if string.find(greetline, "1.003") > 0 or string.find(greetline, "1.004") > 0: SyntaxError: invalid token -fvwm2, sort of installs. -Netscape (all 4.* FreeBSD versions) dump core without even starting up. -Xemacs dumps core without even starting up, just like Netscape. I have first purchased FreeBSD 2.8 with Greg Lahey's book, and have since then always run FreeBSD and nothing else. And I love it. All the 3.* releases have run fine on my setup, never had any hiccups, up until now. Thank you for your time. -Alex To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
