first i want to apologize for using bad english language structures in this 
mail. Now here is the situation i'm suffering :
í'm a newby in unix world, and now i have my computer being set up using 
freebsd version 4.2.1 and i seem to have some problems with my new system.

#first, when i want to re-enter the installation using /stand/sysinstall 
facilities, it seems to be ain't working and saying "sysinstall:command not 
found".

#second, when i was trying to compile my new kernel setup, i got an error 
message saying that "error substraction of different symbols in different 
section". Even though i've followed the instruction in the freebsd's 
handbook.

#third, when i tried to compile any of the ports collection in my  freebsd 
cd i got an error message saying that there is a checksum mismatch for any 
of the port that i was compiling (although i've followed again the 
instruction in the freebsd's handbook). for your information my, freebsd's 
cd using the extension .tgz for every packages.

is there is something wrong with my freebsd's cd (i'm using the rockridge 
extension cd).
For your attention in this mail, i am sending you my best regard.
And thank's for your answer.
