Hello, Heres a couple of comments about the freebsd install of 2.1.7 I did last night. I tried to install from cd-rom without success. I got an error stating a file could not be found (XF86-CX.TGZ ??). I then attempted to install from a DOS partition. This seemed to work ok, until I got to the section about the boot manager. Looks like even though I selected Leave boot area alone, The install overwrote my Windows 95 boot stuff. I am able to "mount" my C drive, it looks like all windows directories and files are there and intact. My environment is like this: A 3.1 GB WD EIDE drive with a C partition (2GB) and a D partition (1GB). During the install, I deleted the D partition, and created a freebsd partition in its place. Could you give me some guidance as to how to get my Windows boot MGR back without having to re-install all of windows 95 and Apps ??? Thank You for your help Dave Barnum daveb@mail.borg.com
