Hello everyone. I have been able toreproduce this problem three times now, so figured I would write the list in hopes that maybe someone else has had this happen to them and might have a suggestion. I began installing freebsd 2.2.5-RELEASE. I downloaded and fdimaged the boot floppy, and setup my partition. I then selected the distribution I wanted, developer. I then selected the media type for the installation which I selected ftp. I then selected the ftp server: ftp2.freebsd.org. Note, I originally tried ftp.freebsd.org, but the connection appeared to be slow, probably heavy network traffic at the time. I then setup my ed0 driver my ne2000 clone, which is connected at 128k connection to the internet. All worked well. The distribution began to install until it got to "chunk 7 of 7" of the info distribution. Then, everything stopped. Nothing disconnected, but everything stopped even moving and I left the machine alone for about 16 minutes. I then started a new fresh install, and had the same results. I then tried ftp.freebsd.org and the same thing happened. Was it just heavy network traffic? Has anyone had this problem? SHould I have just left the machine alone for no matter how long? Thanks for any information. Jeremy
