Or what could be a reason? This should now be fixed, with a commit on 2008/12/18. If you are installing from 8.0 snapshot ISOs, I don't think any include this fix yet. Either wait until the 200901 snapshot, or install the 200809 snapshot, which predates the SiS chipset breakage. > Another machine: Asus M3N78-VM, AthlonX2 (4450e) 2.3GHz, DDR2-800-4GB, > NVidia chip, GeForce 8200 (onboard), ps2 keyboard, usb-mouse, SATA -HDD, > SATA CD/DVD-W, all features - onboard.

I'm guessing, but this is probably because the FTP site doesn't carry all the parts for a network install of -CURRENT. It's not clear if you are talking about installing packages or other parts of the base system, the latter should work but the former is probably best done outside of sysinstall. > Downloaded dvd.iso 3 times: first failed @97% (error: cannot copy from > server), second download finished successfully but .iso file couldn't be > found (mystery!), 3-rd download was OK. > However I got the same problem with Index files on the DVD and "no > distribution" with FTP using sysinstall. Again, packages may not be included on the CURRENT install media, and even if they are, they probably are not tested anywhere near as much as a -STABLER release. Use pkg_add rather than trying to do it at install time. > Fortunately dvd installed pkg_add and I managed to install X and then Gnome. > Currently have problem with correct resolution (1680x1050) only 1280x1024 > available as maximum.

Can't help you here I'm afraid. Gavin
