>Originator:     Jesse Brown
>Release:        2.1.6-RELEASE and 2.2-ALPHA
>Organization:
Brown Computing
>Environment:
Unknown. Unable to Install FreeBSD 
>Description:
When I try to install FreeBSD (With current Boot floppies from the 
correct dist.) Everything goes fine,  I connect to my host correctly
I start downloading and uncompressing the distributions, and EXACTLY 
179 seconds after I START the PPP connection, PPP hangs up the modem.
I have set timeout to 600, makes no difference. I have checked integrity
of the floppy, rawrited data again, to no avail. I can install good when
I use win95 to download the files off the internet into a dir on my
harddisk, but it is a pain.
>How-To-Repeat:
Unknown..... Perhaps hardware specific? I have a USR Sportster 33.6\FAX
No network cards. SB CLone, ATAPI CD.  2 IDE Hard Disks, trying to install
on 2nd Hard disk (210mb)
>Fix:
Possible bug in the timeout code? It seems to only be on the install 
floppy. Once I install FreeBSD, PPP works fine......

Originator hasn't tried later releases of 2.2 (like BETA, 
or GAMMA) once he got a system installed.

Sysinstall is Jordan's baby. 

Jordan, you can close this if you think there really is no 
problem with PPP installs or if you know you have already fixed 
some problems in that area.

I cannot reproduce this and can only conclude that it was a local 
error or was fixed in more current releases.
