>Description:
I'm trying to install the Gnome desktop package.  (I tried to install the KDE desktop package with the same results).  FreeBSD v3.2 from Greenbay CDROM has been installed on a Gateway 2000 4DX2-50V with a P83 chip upgrade, 64 meg of memory, and 2 4.3 gig hard drives.  The X window system has been installed.  
I type: /stand/sysinstall configPackages
The system responds: Probing devices, please wait
The Choose Installation Media screen appears and I select CDROM
The system responds: Located INDEX, now reading package data from it
I select gnome from the menu
I then select the different gnome components using the spacebar and press OK
I then select Install and press Enter
The system then tries to start the install; sometimes the first component is installed OK but it always stops with this error:
 Unable to fetch package xxxx from selected media. No package add will be done.
Then, every other component fails to load.

I've tried this install with each of the four CDs in the drive; each fails on a different component, but they all fail with the same error.

I'm new to FreeBSD and I'm trying to set this up as a company intranet, but to no avail.

Am I doing something wrong?  I've checked your website and the help files on the CD, but haven't found anything regarding this.

Your help is greatly appreciated.

 If I remember correctly there was a problem with the packages
 installation on 3.2-STABLE. Dependencies of packages were spread over
 the various CD"s instead of keeping them all on one disk.
 
 Try the following: Copy the packages you want to install to the
 harddisk, to for example /usr/tmp . 
 
 Type
 
 	pkg_add /usr/tmp/<name of package>
 
 Whenever it complains about not being able to find a package, copy that
 one there as well from one of the CD's. This should resolve all your
 dependencies.
 
 On the CD's you can find the package files on
 
 	CD 1:	packages/All
 	CD 3:	packages/All
 
 If this does not work for you, let me know and I will try to be more
 precise.
 
 Nick
