In-Reply-To: References: <4.2.2.20000214081612.00dc9660@mail.venux.net> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I do have the *new* fixed floppies, however http://www.freebsd.org/releases/3.4R/errata.html only states that the custom install and VLAN was broken on the CD, nothing in there about Distributions. I have tried to install (using the floppies) on many different systems with different hardware and have never been able to enter the Distributions menu. As soon as I select Distributions, sysinstall seg faults. Here is a bug report of the problem filed by someone soon after 3.4 was released: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=16026 Thanks, Matthew At 10:47 AM 2/14/00 -0500, you wrote: >Matthew, > >Check the FreeBSD.org website for the errata for 3.4-R The sysinstall >program has some sig11s when installing from the CD's.
