The strange thing is, everything went well up till when it ask for 
installing media.
Since I have a cd rom naturally I choose and there is where the problem starts.
It seems to have problem reading the CDROM drive. But it can detect it as cd0.

How do I do a ftp install? It seems to work only that I don't know what to 
do about the taz file
are being downloaded and unpack.

Thanks

Stephen
