Hi friends,

I tried to install FreeBSD over the modem and it was smooth (nearly 5
hours) until this message: 

	As you use Novice installation you will be asked some questions...

and when I answered the first question to install Samba, the
connection is down. So I reboot from hard disk and could login as
'root' without password. As this is the 1st time I install and use
FreeBSD I need your help to find out:

1.  Do I have to reinstall from the beginning?
2.  If not what can I do to proceed and how?


Thank you very much for your help.

Have a nice day,
