Description GeorgeG 1999-09-21 11:30:06 UTC

I downloaded bin,catpages,compatxx,des,dict,doc,info,
manpages,proflibs,src from ftp://releng3.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/snapshots/i386
/3.2-19990903-STABLE
and put them under C:\FREEBSD.
After extracting and copying all selected files into BSD
file system, some error messages showed up saying "ELF 
interpreter Missing: /user/libexec/ld-ELF.so.1 not found".
I switched to system console and didn't find that file 
either. So I copied the Kernel.GENERIC to Kernel and 
booted again, it showed the same message.

How-To-Repeat: download bin(or other directories if you want)from ftp://releng3.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/snapshots/i386/3.2-19990903-STABLE
and put them under c:\freebsd.
Try to install and it will happen.

State Changed
From-To: open->closed

Submitter reports a corrupted file at his end. 
Reinstalling fixes this. 

The submitter should also choose more realistic "Priority" and "Severity" 
settings.
