Hi
I started my install by booting off the freeBSD 4-release cd, got everything set up fine, chose my packages, and everything except netscape and flash installed fine.  When it was trying to install netscape, it gave the error:

Add of package netscape-communicator-4.7.2 aborted, error code 1 - Please check the debug screen for more info.

It has read the package successfully, but then this error came up instead of the nice "it worked" message.  Flash gave me the same error later on, but I thought it might be because it needs netscape installed first.  I am new to BSD, and don't even know where this debug screen is.  Any ideas?
