Where did you get it ? (CD-rom ftp nfs.....) Whow is the configuration of your computer? Please give more details it will help! If you have booted from install diskette and set up the system by that way I think this should roll up, Always worked fine for me (at least most offten) I always install full installation exept I don't set X-windows up via sysinstall, I rather choose to set everything up throug ports collection.
