My original installation hung in the middle, but it was extracting src so I figured it would have gotten enough to boot. I rebooted when it hung and booted /kernel.GENERIC, then ran /stand/sysinstall to continue the install. I selected a custom install, and picked src, ports, and XFree86. It installed src and ports and then asked if I wanted to set any post-install options. I said no, went back to the distribution configuration menu, and XFree86 was still checked. I went back to "Commit" and it put me back into the "distribution selection" menu. Also, the "compat21" dist kept getting checked at what seemed like random times; going into the XF86 submenu and coming out seems to cause "compat21" to get checked. And also, in my original install, when I went back to the previous menu (where I had selected "X-devel" and then "custom") I found several selections checked (unfortunately, I don't remember which ones). No matter which choices I make, I can't seem to install XF86 using sysinstall. Guess I'll go back to the old fetch-the-tarballs-and-extract-in-/usr . Bill
