Date: Sun, 25 Feb 1996 21:26:22 -0600 Organization: SkyPoint Communications, Inc. Lines: 16 Message-ID: <3131285E.6E56@skypoint.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: dial210.skypoint.net Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Mailer: Mozilla 2.0 (Win95; I) I am having trouble installing FreeBSD from a DOS drive. After I boot the bootdisk and setup all options, I get an error right after it starts to load "root.flp". It looks like it loads most of the file, then it fails with a GZIP error leading me to believe root.flp is corrupt. I downloaded root.flp from the FreeBSD site, /pub/FreeBSD/2.1.0-RELEASE/floppies dir twice (thought maybe it was corrupt during first FTP. Does anyone know if this "root.flp" is good? Can someone tell me where to get one, or at least compare it to your CD-ROM copy and tell me if it's the same size as this one (414720 bytes). Thanks, Troy
