I don't have a copy of the -current packages on my home box right now so this has been sort of going untested (yeeks) during these SNAPs and Murphy has a special place for untested features. :-) I'll find and fix whatever I did to the poor package installer with my media code hacking. > (3) When running /stand/sysinstall from the command line I got a dialog-box > saying "error mounting /dev/wcd0c on /dist" - right after startup. > Everything worked after cancelling the dialog, though.

Is your CDROM already mounted or not when you do this? > (4) Setting character set/console font from the "Post install > configuration" menu did not change /etc/sysconfig This has always been a bit hosed on the revisit. I'll try and fix it soon. > (5) The XFree package was not available. Really? What media type? It's certainly on ftp.cdrom.com Jordan
