>Release:        4.0 Stable
>Organization:
StuBoNet support group
>Environment:
generic kernel, i386, 4.0-release
>Description:
Did a minimum install of version 4.0 stable, added some basic ports like pine, bash & mc, apache (php), linux_base-6.1.

When trying to use XF86Setup i realise that i havent included them and go into /stand/install to add them. 

Download starts normally but when it reaches 24060bytes [every distro i try] it just stops and reports.

------
"Write failure on transfer! (wrote -1 bytes of 24060 bytes")
------

The disks arent full and the connection is stable. I ran fsck to check, tried the same thing in single user mode. But no luck...   Ports work fine when installing and i find it very strange that adding distributions do not.

No other problems on the system, even tried switching NICs (3Com)


Otherwise i find FreeBSD the best Operating System availble for servers =)


>How-To-Repeat:
Same problem with Upgrading the system or using /stand/sysinstall after reboot.
>Fix:
reinstall...  ?  :-C   i dont experience the same problem on the box next to it (same installation procedure)
