But I have seen it too, and ended up pulling the CD-ROM drive off of the server and installing it in the client system (a 486DX33 with 8MB and cheap NE2000 clone as ed0). Once installed it worked. I have also seen a similar "Signal 11" problem trying to install 2.2.1-RELEASE via FTP from a local server, but it waited 'til after installing all selected distributions (bin, info, manpages). As it happened I had a bin distribution that didn't un-tar properly -- don't know how that happened (yes, I was doing binary FTP), and at that point the simplest thing to do (since the machine I was re-installing was my router) was to re-do the install over the PPP connection. In future I think I will be installing exclusively from CD-ROM. That seems to work a lot better, and I don't need that much of a CD-ROM drive for it. -Frank McConnell
