IIRC you can select and install up to 4 packages without sysinstall hanging, then leave sysinstall and start it again for the next four packages... :-/ Or you do it manually with pkg_add. Or you get another version of sysinstall from an ftp server - I'm using the one from a 3.0-SNAP and it installed packages off of an 2.2.1-CD just fine. Bye, Philipp -- P.
