I booted my machine (a Pentium @166 with 16MB RAM, 1.2 GB Seagate) with the boot floppy without any problem. I went thru disk partitioning and all that smoothly. The method I chose was NFS. I had downloaded the bin distribution from ftp.freebsd.org in one of my machines, and export it. The mount and the beginning of the installation (of bin) went fine, but after a few files, cpio started giving a checksum mismatch problem, and did not do anything (although it took a lot of time) The CHECKSUM and bin.inf files were downloaded from the distribution in ftp.freebsd.org:/pub/FreeBSD/2.2.5-RELEASE/bin, as well as the other bin.xx files. Does any one know what could be wrong? What shall I do? ------------------------------ Pablo Ares Gastesi pablo@math.tifr.res.in Pablo.Ares@math.tifr.res.in http://www.math.tifr.res.in/~pablo finger -l pablo@math.tifr.res.in for my public key ring pgp Pablo Ares Key fingerprint = 50 17 35 F8 F2 19 75 A7 60 C8 44 DB 84 E9 45 1D ------------------------------
