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 -----=20 From: Kris Sanders=20 To: questions@freebsd.org=20 Sent: Wednesday, February 16, 2000 3:51 PM Subject: FreeBSD Setup....
