I have attempted to install FreeBSD 2.0 from the Walnut Creek CD - (the one
with the January 1994 label although I understand the code is much more
recent than that) - with mixed success.
My system is a 486 DX2/66 with 8 Mb of RAM, 2 IDE hard drives, a Texel XX24
CD-ROM drive connected to an Adaptec 1522A SCSI controller.
I can install from the CD everything BUT the XFREE86 material. When I
select that part for installation, I first get the dialogue box:
"Verifying Checksums ... wait!"
This is then followed by the dialogue box:
"Extracting ... wait!".
Unfortunately from that point on nothing happens. There is no activity on
the CD ROM or the hard drive.
Can you fell from this information what my problem is? Is there a
work-around which would allow me to install the material from the CD once I
have the computer running FreeBSD? If a work-around is possible, please
tell me the 'commands' I have to issue to work through it. I'm afraid I'm
not all that literate in 'unix'.
Thank you
Chris B.
