I get the base bin's and man pages OK, but when It comes to extracting the XF86 stuff it manages to get compat22 compat3x then fails to collect the servers or the fonts and just hangs with. Extracting requested distributions or Logging in to ftp@ftp.freebsd.org Then falls back to the ftp site selection screen. I thought it might be the ftp site being overloaded with users so I tried ftp3.us ftp5.us and then ftp2.us. The results are similar, with "failure to extract- would you like to try again" messages. Sometimes sysinstall core dumps. I connect ok with ftp manually and can complete the job using mget* Has this been a problem for anyone else?
