I just got my FreeBSD-2.2.1 CD from Walnut Creek CDRom and I am trying
to install it.  When selecting a distribution, I choose X-Developer. 
Immediately thereafter, the installation goes through some other screens
(i.e., encription, etc).  After-which, the screen returns to the
distribution selection screen.  Strangely enough, not only is
X-developer selected (which was my choice), but also Developer, X-user,
and a couple others.  If I continue with the installation, all appears
to go well.  However, XFRee86 does not install (which I would like to
have).  Is anyone else having this problem?  Is there a fix for this? 
IF so, what can I do to get the installation software to work properly?

Thanks in advance for any help that can be provided.

Regards,

Robert Hatch
