Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Greetings, I may have run into a flaw in the install routine for FreeBSD 4.5. It has occurred only twice, but both times under the exact same circumstances: If you choose to install every package on the install CD, eventually the install will crash with 'waiting for pkgadd(1)' message. The message will be displayed forever...or at least the 4 hours I was willing to wait. I know, you think I'm crazy for attempting to install every package, but I thought to myself "What the heck..." and tried. Both times ending in the exact same failure. Thanks for listening.
