(mfs = memory filesystem). I suspect your text above was merely a typo. And, this OS is called FreeBSD, not FreeDos, thanks :-) Your message is simply too terse for me to help you. "Don't have anything in them" could mean dozens of things. How did you download them? Or do you have a FreeBSD CD-ROM? How did you write the image files to floppy disks? How and at what point did you determine that they "[didn't] have anything in them"? Have you read and followed the installation instructions in the FreeBSD handbook? http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/install.html Hope this helps, - Ryan > Yep they contain zilch for information. > > Richard Cottrell > rjc@web-access.net > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message > -- Ryan Thompson <ryan@sasknow.com> Network Administrator, Accounts SaskNow Technologies - http://www.sasknow.com #106-380 3120 8th St E - Saskatoon, SK - S7H 0W2 Tel: 306-664-3600 Fax: 306-664-1161 Saskatoon Toll-Free: 877-727-5669 (877-SASKNOW) North America To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
