by I just recently downloaded some minimal distribution
from an ftp site. I also acquired the boot floppies and
tried installing the FreeBSD 4.3-Release from the cd
I burned. The most I got out of the installation is the
extracting of the very first distribution which is the
bin directory. It does not go through with the extraction
and halts indicating "write failure on transfer".
I surfed around the web and found few suggestions.
1)Try formatting the whole c: drive and try again.
Did that but still same problem.
2)Disable all cache.
Didn't work. Sample problem. Write failure.
Sometimes the bin extraction stops at 25% and sometimes at 97%.
The write failure happens anytime during the installation no matter
if it's 1% or 99%.
Please advice.
