>Description:
When running sysinstall, I get a core dump when attempting to install additional packages.
>How-To-Repeat:
Installed basic system with no packages.

Internet works - can ftp places.

Run sysinstall and select Configure/Packages.  Select FTP/Main Site/Assume Network is configured.

sysintall core dumps when saying 'Located INDEX, now reading package data from it...'

syslog:

kernel: pid 1057 (sysinstall), uid 0: exited on signal 11 (core dumped)

sysinstall.core exists.


I wonder if this is because FreeBSD is running under VMWare 6.  Are there known incompatibilities?
