Addendum (clarification) to my question: - When I boot from the Hard disk, and start /stand/sysinstall with FTP1 as the source (since CDROM as source doesn't work), when the Xorg packages are attempted to be added, the download from the FTP server completes but at the end a quick error messages flashes, and then in its place a message is emitted: "add of package expat-2.0.0_1 aborted, error code 1 - Please check the debug screen for more info." The same message is repeated for these libraries: perl-5.8.8 xorg-manpages-6.9.0 xorg-documents-6.9.0 xorg-fonts-encodings-6.9.0_1 Thanks, Matthew P.S. Where is the debug screen?
