Error reading bin.ay. Date: 11 Feb 1996 05:31:28 GMT Organization: AUSNet Services pty. ltd. Lines: 27 Message-ID: <4fjuvg$g7j@sydney1.world.net> Reply-To: mikel@bns.com.au NNTP-Posting-Host: melb04.world.net X-Newsreader: IBM NewsReader/2 v1.03 Hiyas, In my forray into FreeBSD I have had some problems. The major one is that when I get up to bin.ay (DOS Partition AND floppy installs) the installer bombs out saying invalid media compression (taken from Alt-F2 screen) So I thought... must be a bad copy of bin.ay. So I downloaded it twice more (once from the same site, and once from a different site) and twice it failed. The sites I have tried are: ftp://ftp.physics.usyd.edu.au/FreeBSD and ftp://minnie.cs.adfa.oz.au/FreeBSD I am installing ver 2.1.0. Can anyone shed some light, our tell me what I need to tell you to help me? Regards and Salutations Mikel Lindsaar
