good idea about the CD1 iso
Hi
I have an old PC that had 128mb RAM, but one stick died, so it was limping on 64. I tried various OS's like DSL, Puppy Linux and so forth, and nearly every thing stalled out, with the exception of DSL. It's just an extra power user (i.e. an old piece of SH*T that is using electricity!) but I look at it sitting in the corner and well, feel guilty :\
So I tried the live cd FreeBSD and it stalled with that same error that is the title of this post. So I tried what someone else here suggested and used a previous CD I forgot I had burned; the cd1.iso of FreeBSD, not the live one.
It seems to be doing something now, but it's taking a long time! THe base is on, the kernel is on, and now the ports.txz is trying to install (currently sitting at 9%). I'll come back and let ya know if it worked!
