If your CD is bad in that area, you could try downloading that package, and installing it. The sysinstall should see that it is installed, and not mess with it on CD. OR, if your CD is all bad, you could do an FTP install from one of the sites, that will download all of the necessary packages. When you run /stand/sysinstall and then do the Post configuration, packages, instead of CDROM, select FTP or Passive FTP (depending on your internet situation) then choose a site, download packages and off you go. Hope that helps.

When I tried to install KDE, I got the following errors: >Add of package xpm-3.4k aborted, error code 1- >Please check the debug screen for more info >acd0: READ_BIG_MEDIUM ERROR asc=11 >ascq=05 error=00 >Loading of dependant package xpm-3.4k failed >Loading of dependant package kdebase -1.1.2.1 failed In fact, I got these errors when trying to install any of the desktop managers. Could I have received a bad copy (on CD) of FreeBSD 4.2? Would it be possible to use /stand/sysinstall and load KDE from my old 3.4 CD ROM set? Any info would be appreciated.
