If it is the former, try a different disk (or remove the write protection and try try again :-) Disks have a tendency to wear out over time, and you may have found a bad one. If you are referring to the latter (i.e., the files appeared to copy fine to disks but you can't install from the boot floppy), check the integrity of your hard disk on your laptop, and ensure that you have enough free space to complete the install. -- Ryan Thompson <ryan@sasknow.com> 50% Owner, Sysadmin SaskNow Technologies http://www.sasknow.com #106-380 3120 8th St E Saskatoon, SK S7H 0W2 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
