The timezone-setting option in sysinstall seems to be a no-op; you click on it, and absolutely nothing happens. It's supposed to bring up that menu that lets me pick what country etc. I'm in, and nothing at all happens. >> It also failed installing one of the XFree card-specific servers (sorry, I >> don't remember which one). > >Well, you can't really expect anybody to help you then, can you? Maybe I won't report it next time and then it really won't help anyone. After spending 5 hours trying to load FreeBSD the last thing I thought of was "gee, maybe I should write that one down." If I'm lucky, -current will eat itself, and I can enjoy another 5 hours of downloading, and maybe I will write it down next time. The file exists but it fails gunzip'ing after a couple hundred K, so all that should be required is for someone to go to the XFree86 dist and gzip -t everything (which probably isn't such a bad idea in general as the XFree distribution doesn't get updated very often). I tried reloading the file 3 times so I'm sure it's not a figment of my computer's imagination... Evan
