I downloaded a snapshot today http://snapshots.jp.freebsd.org dated 06/05 and tried again... This time it completed with no errors. Tried the 4.6-RC2 CD I downloaded from ftp.freebsd.org failed to install XFree86 4.0.2 during sysinstall. Not sure what changed, but it does work with the snapshot CD :) -Tony }-----Original Message----- }From: owner-freebsd-mobile@FreeBSD.ORG }[mailto:owner-freebsd-mobile@FreeBSD.ORG] On Behalf Of Julian H.
