The reason setup.exe fails to find these files is most likely because the copy you have is intended for FreeBSD 2.2. The distribution format of these particular files has changed, and only the latest version of setup.exe is generally available for download. Incidentally, unless you have a particular reason for choosing 2.1.7.1, you may be better of installing 2.2.6, which is the latest release. For those new to FreeBSD, there is a lot of help available on the freebsd-newbies and freebsd-questions mailing lists, but it usually helps to have the same version everyone else is talking about. -- Robert Nordier To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
