Yes I tried that. No go. when I just mark Xfree in the custom install keeps telling that I never did. so I try the Xfree user. it then tells me that it can't mount /dos, that it is already, and when I umount it still gives me error. > Sysinstall was designed to be re-entrant, so you should be able to go to > custom install and pick the xfree dist all by itself and have it do the > rest.
