I have a new install. I installed from a CDROM, ATAPI, using CD from the latest book, by Mr. Lehey, a worthy investment, btw. Anyhow, every singletime I tried to install as an X User through sysinstall, the machine would lock up during the extraction process of the xfr86332 files, in particular the servers files. Finally I went back in and installed as an "average user." Then I thought I'd be cute and copy all the files over onto a directory in c:\, where Win 95 resides, then mount the partition and install from there, with FreeBSD. However, even then, whenever I get into the servers files, it won't copy after so many files copied. The CD had scratches on it out of the vinyl yesterday; could this be a bad CD causing my problem? Also, when I try to mount the CDROM using mount -t cd9660 /dev/wcd0c /cdrom, I get an Input/Output error message. Any help out there? The CDROM is a Wahrens 24x IDE ATAPI. I do see it when I use dmsg (?). I am a newbie; so I feel sure it must be something I'm doing here. Thanks in advance.
