Dear FreeBSD Technical Support, yesterday I bought the Walnut Creek CDROM for 49,95 Deutsch Marks here in Germany. Until now I used the commercial BSD/OS series. I couldn't believe my eyes as I installed the 2.1.6-Release on a new fresh 3.2GB-Quantum EIDE disk: The installer complains about the following: * Unable to transfer the X32AGX distribution from wcd0c. Do you want to try to retrieve it again? [A manual look on the CD showed me that the Package X32AGX under /XF8632 is 0 bytes long, so no wonder...] * Couldn't extract the following distributions. This may be because they were not available on the installation media you've chosen: commerce xperimnt [A manual look on the CD showed me that these directories are existing, so something other might be wrong...] * [Not possible to start the X11 installation, the machine complains about tons of numerous missing files...] * [A LOT of errors in different packages while installing an almost full feed of packages after basic installation] Of course I tested the CD on a friend's machine today, too, but exactly the same mistakes on the CD-ROM with this release 2.1.6. Since I really need a working FreeBSD-Release for my diploma-thesis here at the LRZ, could you please be so kind and send me a working copy of FreeBSD please! My address: Joachim Wunder Am Vogelherd 2b 82110 Germering GERMANY I see no serial number on the CD, so I don't know how to identify the CD for your convenience, only the Barcode on the package and ISBN number are there: Barcode: 7 47851 02307 8 ISBN : 1-57176-079-2 The CD-cover says: [...] "This CDROM has a one year unconditional guarantee"... so I count on your guarantee. If you want I can send you the CD back (if you like...). I count on you. Best Greetings from Germany, Joachim -- Email: Joachim.Wunder@LRZ-Muenchen.DE Tel.: +49 89 8411038 Fax.: +49 89 894287-85
