Anyone see this on installation? I took a local mirror of 2.1.5-RELEASE to make my installations go faster, but when trying to use them, I sometimes get this error message that seems to imply that it had problems writing to disk. It happens mostly during load of the /bin stuff, and sometimes on the manpages too. It does successfully get some packages. eg. ssys. If I reboot the machine and restart the install from scratch from ftp.freebsd.org, then it goes just fine (but a lot lot slower )-: Anyone see this before? It's quite annoying! I grabbed my mirror using ncftp with a get -R 2.1.5-RELEASE, and setup a local ftp server for it, giving it the correct URL for the ftp - it loggs in ok and starts the transfer, then fails with this odd error message. Any pointers to solve this would be appreciated - I have a fair few machines to build soon and it's a real drag trying to FTP it from a remote site. Gordon
