Mike,
Here is what is happening.
I downloaded the floppy files for 3.3 (19990923). I attempted to do a fresh install.
Everything went fine
until I finished the "network configuration" screen. When I clicked ok (after filling
in appropriate boxes),
a small screen popped up saying that it caught a signal 11!
I reported this to stable yesterday. Later that night, I tried the same installation
on a different computer and
it caught the signal 11 at the EXACT same place! Both of these machines (Aptiva 233
mhz with 64megs ram
and Packard Bell 166mhz with 24 megs ram) have run FreeBSD 3.0, Debian Linux, OS2
Warp 3/4, Win 95,
and Redhat 5.2. The Aptiva is currently running FreeBSD 3.2. The Aptiva has worked
with all 4 OS's including
upgrading, fresh installations, etc.
3.2 I downloaded from the net, installed, and compiled. Then added lots of ports :)
Before that, I installed 3.0
from my CD. Everything was worked flawlessly. Even installing fixpaks for OS/2 Warp4
from the net worked
great. Also, I upgraded Debian from 2.0 to 2.1 over the net.
I don't think ram is the problem considering that the signal 11 is caught at the exact
same spot on both machines.
What is strange is that today I tried a new installation of 3.3 on the Aptiva and
again it caught the signal 11.
However, the program worked flawlessly when I chose to upgrade my 3.2 system.
I hope this makes sense :)

I have and run the following:
OS/2 Warp 3 & 4
Linux (Debian 2.1 and Redhat 5.2)
FreeBSD 3.0 & 2.21
Windows 3.1 95 & 98
Amiga 500 & 4000
If that can't keep a person confused then nothing can! :)
