Initial 4.10 installation. Trying to configure XFree86. from /stand/sysinstall, select Configure | XFree86. I THINK I've tried every possible combination. I couldn't use the "Fully graphical XFree86 configuration tool" as the graphic was partially off-screen and the monitor was "out of range". I used the textmode tool and the shell- script tool, settling on the shell-script tool. After agreeing that it should write /etc/X11/XF86, and selecting a desktop to use, many different attempts all result in this error: "Error mounting /dev/acd0c on /dist: Input/output error (5)" And the next screen is: "An error occurred while adding the package(s) required by this desktop type. Please change installation media and/or select a different, perhaps simpler, desktop environment and try again." I don't find a /etc/X11/ directory, much less a XF86 file. Video card is ati XPERT 98, monitor is 1280x1024 LCD. A suggestion for what to try next? Jay O'Brien Rio Linda, CA USA
