Hello,

Now that I have 3.2-RELEASE installed and running, I thought I
might try something simple - installing the KDE package. A good test
for a UNIX newbie, right? (I'm sure my VAX/FORTRAN skills would
be useful, HAH). Is 3.2-RELEASE sysinstall being worked on?

I've tried two installs - one from /stand/sysinstall
and one from the boot floppy.

    Off of /stand/sysinstall--
            I choose Configure,
            Configure Packages,
            FTP.
            Running multi-user, assume that
            the network is already configured, Choose No
            Do the network config and
            choose OK and get

            Cannot resolve hostname ftp.freebsd.org

            and I can't get past this problem even if my
            network config is correct.

  Off the boot floppies for 3.2-RELEASE

         I choose configure, configure packages, select my media,
        connect  and go and get

             Locating INDEX now reading package data from it

         I select KDE install
         I select only kdebase - 1.1.1  (kdelibs as a dependency)
         I click install and see

             kdebase 1.1.1

          I click ok and get

             Adding packages /all/mesa-3.0.tgz (as a dependency)
             from ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/freebsd/releases/i386

          and it locks up.

     Here's the DEBUG output:

Am I going to have to learn how to do package installs manually?
