Each time I install, I usually get the system set up with the distrutions I want and LATER go back and add a few packages. After the system is set up to my liking, it never fail I need another package at a later date. When I restart sysinstall and try to access a mirror I have on another machine to get a package, sysinstall gives an error and does a core dump. Any idea why this is happening? It always happens when it is reading the index out of the packages directory and seems to work flawlessly up to a point.......then it does nothing but core-dump. Help please.......randal@linuxsjt.org
