[-- Attachment #1 --] Can you be more specific about your errors in the install. There are two packages which have trouble installing: one is a perl5 package (Eperl) I think) and Netscape for Linux 4.7. The install should not ask for the other CD's...at least not for the base install..it should'nt ask for it on the ports section either unless the 5 cd pack is different from the iso. If you are used to installing Redhat or Suse, This will definetely different. You need to make sure you install enough fonts and Xfree servers. The install needs a little more realiability for newbies.. brad ----- Original Message ----- From: Kris Sanders To: questions@freebsd.org Sent: Wednesday, February 16, 2000 3:51 PM Subject: FreeBSD Setup.... I ordered FreeBSD 3.4 a couple of weeks ago and went to install it and I have gotten sever different errors each time that I try to install.. Most of the time I will get an error 1 during the installation of the packets and then it will not make it all the way through the installation. I can get the base system installed but I can't configure anything and I can't install anything else. The installation program does not even ask for the 2nd, 3rd, or 4th CDs. I was very interested in running FreeBSD because I have heard good things about it but I haven't been getting good results from the installation. Thanks for your time.
