The only way out is to press Ctrl-C which aborts the entire installation However, if I switch to a different virtual console and do a ping to the gateway specified earlier, it works Does anybody see this behavior, I have tried doinng installs with/without crypto and on different boxes to and I see this behaviour repeatedly Regards, Yusuf -- Yusuf Goolamabbas yusufg@outblaze.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
