Priority: normal X-mailer: Pegasus Mail for Windows (v2.01) Sender: questions-owner@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk I am trying to install 2.0.5 RELEASE on my computer, to my second HDD from my first. When the installation program tries to copy the ROOT image, it says it was unable to copy it. If I ALT-F2 to the other screen, it has "decompression dots" and below that it says: gunzip: stdin: Invalid compression character, or something along those lines. I have tried getting a replacement ROOT.FLP from ftp.cdrom.com, but this does not seem to fix the problem.. Any sugguestions?
