Hi,

My question is: 

Did I just get a CD's from a badly burned batch or is this how release
3.4 is supposed to be ?

I received FreeBSD 3.4, two days ago. Upon trying to install it I have
found that it is not bootable. 

Somehow I managed to get it installed, but so many things seem to be
acting strange. 

-XF86Setup, graphical X setup, just plain fails to start up.

-Fetchmailconf  spews the following:

inconsistent dedent
File "/usr/local/libexec/fetchmailconf.bin", line 1131
if string.find(greetline, "1.003") > 0 or string.find(greetline,
"1.004") > 0:
SyntaxError: invalid token

-fvwm2, sort of installs.

-Netscape (all 4.* FreeBSD versions) dump core without even starting
up.

-Xemacs dumps core without even starting up, just like Netscape.

I have first purchased FreeBSD 2.8 with Greg Lahey's book, and have
since then always run FreeBSD and nothing else. And I love it.

All the 3.* releases have run fine on my setup, never had any hiccups,
up until now.


Thank you for your time.

-Alex
