Hello, I have a question. Is there _any_ way that i can salvage the 3 1/2 hours that has already gone into the ftp install before i lost my connection? I had most of what i needed (wanted) of the 2.1.5R on disk, but while loading the XFree86 100dpi fonts, i lost my link. I am not sure what order the files are installed in, but I believe that the XFree86 distribution was the last set to be requested. I am unable to boot the FreeBSD system that is already placed, as i never got to finish the install. I hate to think of all that time wasted, and i will be waiting to see if anyone has any ideas of how to recover and finish the install. I tried to immediately re-connect, but the install program just seemed to spin it's wheels, not realinzing that the connection dropped and no more data was transfered (i didn't think any more would be). Any insights would be much appriciated. Thank you for your time, Ray, the ever having difficulties with getting FreeBSD to install ;)
