(I tried to install the KDE desktop package with the same results). FreeBSD v3.2 from Greenbay CDROM has been installed on a Gateway 2000 4DX2-50V with a P83 chip upgrade, 64 meg of memory, and 2 4.3 gig hard drives. The X window system has been installed. I type: /stand/sysinstall configPackages The system responds: Probing devices, please wait The Choose Installation Media screen appears and I select CDROM The system responds: Located INDEX, now reading package data from it I select gnome from the menu I then select the different gnome components using the spacebar and press OK I then select Install and press Enter The system then tries to start the install; sometimes the first component is installed OK but it always stops with this error: Unable to fetch package xxxx from selected media. No package add will be done. Then, every other component fails to load. I've tried this install with each of the four CDs in the drive; each fails on a different component, but they all fail with the same error. I'm new to FreeBSD and I'm trying to set this up as a company intranet, but to no avail. Am I doing something wrong? I've checked your website and the help files on the CD, but haven't found anything regarding this. Your help is greatly appreciated. >How-To-Repeat: See above. >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
