Some days ago I bought your above mentioned Toolkit set on 6 CDs. CD no. 1 contains at least 2 releases of FreeBSD : 3.1-199903327-STABLE ( which I can't install as I have a Tekram 390F SCSI controller >-(( ) and 2.2-19990328-STABLE which is 2.2.8. When I boot with floppies I can go ahead till I want to install the selected parts of the distribution from CDROM. Then I get an error message which tells that 3.1-199903327-STABLE is the current version and that I have the wrong floppies or what else. The CD is mounted on /dist. I am told to go to the option menu and make appropriate changes. There I find 2.2-19990328-STABLE which is correct/what I want to do. I do not dare to change this ( or should I ? ). I found a file named CDROM on the CD where is a line setting cd-version equal to 3.1-199903327-STABLE. Is there any way to circumvent this error/message ? Let me add that I could install a 2.5.1 system an try to upgrade from there to 3.1-199903327-STABLE - but i don't know how and whether this makes any sense. By the way I browsed through /www/Handbook and found many 0K-files ( especially on Linux-emulation to run the ADABAS D 11.0 database ) Please don't offer to send the CDs back as I'm situated in Germany.
