I am using FreeBSD 2.1.0 for quite a while without problems. Recently I tried to install 2.1.5. FTP install is the most suitabale way for me, but after ftp transfer started installation hangs very soon at random point. (I tried different ftp servers). My hardware is 486DX2-66, VLB, EIDE hard drive, 3c509 Ethernet card -- nothing special. Any ideas what's the problem? And if I'll manage to install it (for a pity install from DOS partition is not an option), how could I be sure that networking will work properly after that? (BTW, I also tried latest 2.0 based Linux distrubutions and guess what? - it even didn't boot.) I am quite suprised: I never had any installation problem with earlier versions of free OSes. Thanks in advance, Vladimir.
