Hello Sir,
           II have tried to install over FTP as well but it doesnt work 
either.I even setup a ftp server on my local machine so i could install via 
ftp but it didnt work...My best bet would be to buy a freebsd cd that would 
save a lot of work and pain.Anyway thanx for the immediate reply i really 
appreciate it
