Can you be more specific about your errors in the install. There are two =
packages which have trouble installing: one is a perl5 package (Eperl) I =
think) and Netscape for Linux 4.7. The install should not ask for the =
other CD's...at least not for the base install..it should'nt ask for it =
on the ports section either unless the 5 cd pack is different from the =
iso. If you are used to installing Redhat or Suse, This will definetely =
different. You need to make sure you install enough fonts and Xfree =
servers. The install needs a little more realiability for newbies..

  Subject: FreeBSD Setup....


  I ordered FreeBSD 3.4 a couple of weeks ago and went to install it and =
I have gotten sever different errors each time that I try to install.. =
Most of the time I will get an error 1 during the installation of the =
packets and then it will not make it all the way through the =
installation. I can get the base system installed but I can't configure =
anything and I can't install anything else. The installation program =
does not even ask for the 2nd, 3rd, or 4th CDs. I was very interested in =
running FreeBSD because I have heard good things about it but I haven't =
been getting good results from the installation.

  Thanks for your time.
