G'day,
i have recently purchased and installed FreeBSD 2.1.0 on my PC.
when i installed, i had to install from DOS as it did not recognize my CD.
ok i can live with that.
i did a minimum install, just to test the water and that went ok.
i even installed the os-bs multi boot software and that works fine
i can boot DOS or FreeBSD easily.
my problem is that i now want to install more of the distributions from the CD
but its not working.
this is what i have done.
xcopy /s d:\dists\dict c:\freebsd\dict
boot FreeBSD
/stand/sysinstall
select Custom
select Media (DOS)
select Distributions
select Custom
select dict
select Extract
after 60 seconds or so i get:
failed to retrieve piece file dict/dict.aa!
Aborting the transfer
Please Help !
I was able to install the Manpages using floppies but this is painful,
i must be doing something wrong and would appreciate some help.
thanks in advance
Darren Edgerton
