I have been using freeBSD since I purchased 4.2 I really feel comfortable with the install and mangement. I would still consider myself as a newbie. I just use the system as a desktop enviroment on my laptop. It is a toshiba 1605CD K-6 400MHz boosted to 192M RAM. The problem came along when I decided to reformat the drive and install the beta 4.5 release. It was running real smooth and had no complaints especially using KDE. Then when I went to port additional applications I was informed that there were no packages availble for that release anynore. So I downloaded the new ISO 4.5 with great anticpation. During the install I was getting error messages on the binary packages. No problem, I made a boot disc and started to install from the FTP site. At this point I was having seperate issues with my burner, and I figured which was a great idea anyway, too save and get a new one. But, this way as well I was unable to sucessfully install a functional 4.5 version. Some of the dependancies would not load correctly. So as a sanity check I re-installed 4.4 with great success. But after the beta run made me want 4.5 to work. The best I was able to do was have a minimal install, and Ive been trying my best to fit the pieces of the ports, its so tidiest. Any other similar problems reported? >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
