I've tried two installs - one from /stand/sysinstall and one from the boot floppy. Off of /stand/sysinstall-- I choose Configure, Configure Packages, FTP. Running multi-user, assume that the network is already configured, Choose No Do the network config and choose OK and get Cannot resolve hostname ftp.freebsd.org and I can't get past this problem even if my network config is correct. Off the boot floppies for 3.2-RELEASE I choose configure, configure packages, select my media, connect and go and get Locating INDEX now reading package data from it I select KDE install I select only kdebase - 1.1.1 (kdelibs as a dependency) I click install and see kdebase 1.1.1 I click ok and get Adding packages /all/mesa-3.0.tgz (as a dependency) from ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/freebsd/releases/i386 and it locks up.
