I cannot tell for sure, but the installation seems to be failing at the point where it must install/read from the cdrom; is that correct? If so, it may be that your cdrom drive has a DMA conflict; I believe that Toshiba ATAPI drives have such problems. Provided you have a broadband connection,

Sorry if this is more appropriate for the newbie list, but that one seems to be inactive since 2005. I am trying to install py25-gobject from ports (/usr/ports/devel/py-gobject), but make complains that an older version (py24-gobject) is already installed. Deinstalling from that same directory

I reveal my ignorance: why does this work to delete the package # pkg_delete -f /var/db/pkg/py24-gobject* while 'pkg_delete py24-gobject*' did not? Would the latter have done the trick if issued from the /var/db/pkg directory itself? In any event your solution does seem to have
