Hello, I was wondering if you could shed a little light on an installation problem Im having with FreeBSD 2.2.5. I recently bought a book entitled "the UNIX System's Administrator Bible" (or something along that line) and it came with a Walnut Creek CDROM containing FreeBSD 2.2.5 and some other "administration" tools. When I run the install program from the CD ROM (or use a boot disk for that matter) it allows me to configure the installation perfectly and select my media type as CDROM. When I make the final conformation it begins to configure the partition on my hard drive allocated for FreeBSD. Then Im prompted with a conformation saying Warning: the CD ROM in the drive is either not a FreeBSD CD or it is an older (pre 2.1.5) FreeBSD CD which does not have a version number on it. Do you wish to use this CD anyway? When I say yes I get a message informing me it could not install bin, doc, games, manpages, catpages, etc etc etc... Once I hit OK it tells me Congratulation I have FreeBSD on my system.... and takes me through the post install menus. After all this is over and I reboot all I have is boot manager installed... By any chance can you shed some light onto what is going wrong here? Thanks, Kirk To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
