I installed from the 10-10-2001 snapshot last night via burning the snapshot
to CDROM and booting from the floppy set into sysinstall, The failure to
extract, retry error also occurs in this method. By replying "no" to the
retry message the install finished fine and system seems to be O.K.

Also the tip from another list member about adding the -U to the new
filesystem creation options from the preferences screen worked great to
enable softupdates/dirprefs at install time.

How about getting the tools directory added back to the 4.stable snapshots?
or is this a disk space issue?, and fixing the sysinstall retry error.

Thanks to all involved in the FreeBSD project

Stephen Hilton
