Description Craig Rogers 2006-10-06 13:00:40 UTC

I have downloaded version 6.1 multiple times from different sites, used MD5 to ensure the ISO's were good but I cannot get the OS installed.  I have wiped the entire drive with Linux, BartPE, and FreeBSD in a effort to completed the install but no luck.

Everything goes smoothly until the installer start to copy information from the CD and that's when I recieve.

"Unable to transfer the base distribution from acd0"

I have also tried this on two other computers DELL and HP with the same issue.  I can load Windows XP and Fedora Core 5 with no problems.

Thanks,
Craig

Hello, 

Sorry but this is not a problem but a support question, please deffer 
to questions@FreeBSD.org (http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions) 
and get back to me if people are still thinking this is worth a problem. 

Thanks for taking the time to report this though!
