Could somone please offer some advice on this. I'm a newbie to UNIX and FreeBSD and tried to 
install v2.0

It get's to a screen that states "End of initial installation" and now, I'm assuming, that it is 
wanting the rest of the info via FTP, CD, etc... My options are Yes or No but when I press 
either it shows me a line: 

pid 6: sh: uid 0: exited on signal 11

The number after the "pid" increases by one each time I press enter. I can't go any farther with 
the install and apparently FreeBSD isn't recognizing my CD. Is there any way to 
manually configure my CD to work? I'm sorry if these questions are boneheadedly basic but again 
I'm a newbie trying to broaden my knowledge. :)

If you'd rather email me I can be reached at either

Thank you in advance...
