hello list in the middle of installing freebsd [6.1 b1] over an earlier ubuntu trial during transfer from CD to hard drive, i began to see "unable to transfer ... from acd0" error messages for first the doc, manpages, dict, and base distributions. i switched the install media to ftp and successfully installed the doc, manpages and dict distributions (i think!) before again encountering the "write failure on transfer" error for the base distribution. i burned the install cds at a 16x speed and 'verified' them with nero, if that makes any difference. my archive searches with the errors above pasted in produced conflicting or dated results. is there a way to easily narrow down the list of culprits? any help greatly appreciated.
