(I've never tried a CD installation.) I've noticed that during the installation while files are being downloaded to my computer the process stops and I am returned to the ftp site menu. When I enter a choice at this menu the installation continues where it left off. This happens several times during the installation process. It is not a big deal since I am able to complete the install. It just means that I can't start the install and then walk away and do something else. Has anybody else experienced this or do people know what is causing this? By the way, I've had this same thing happen on multiple versions of freebsd and on multiple servers. thanks, Nathan Speed To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
