Firstly: I should explain that my net connection gives me,
perhaps, 700cps. In addition, I am limited to two hours per day. Hence,
my connection is limited.
Saying that, I finally downloaded the 14MB required to do a
binary install (2.0.5-ALPHA directory on freebsd.org....BTW, it's quite
silly that there is a ftp.freebsd.org, and then freebsd.org!).
Fantastic! I went to install....downer. At 15% the debugging screen
starts spewing nonending checksum errors on "stand/cpio"... Is this a
defective file? Actually, I should mention that I started getting the
files originally from ftp.cdrom.com, and then switched to freebsd.org
halfway through. The whole process took about 4 days. If there is a
defective file, is there any way for me to find which it is without
resorting to regetting all of the files?
BTW: You guys are doing an incredible job. I really am amazed
such a product exists without a four figure price: just ask the guy I
spoke to when originally talking to your product with Walnut Creek...
;^) Humorous phone call!
