I have installed FreeBSD 2.1 about 5 times now via the CDROM 
and the network but I keep running into the same problem. 
After the installation, I can't add new patches or tools 
through the SYSINSTALL utility.  It brings the INDEX and lists
all the packages correctly but when I select the packages and
say OK, it comes back with:

" can't fetch ....<filename> "


Any thoughts would be helpful.  Thank you.
