I downloaded the dists from = the web and they are in the /BIN , /MANPAGES , /XFREE86 subdirectories = of the c:/FREEBSD directory . I've the doubt this is not the right tree = structure the FREEBSD directory should have ( it should be a copy of the = tree structure of the CDROM , which I'm missing ). So , my questions are = : what is the tree structure of the CDROM that I've to replicate in the = FREEBSD directory ? Is this the reason why the XFREE86 installation = process fails ? How can I be sure the XFREE86 installation process has = been completed , if I don't know in what directory XFREE86 has been = installed ( I didn't find this information anywhere) ? Maybe you = consider these questions a little silly , and probably they are . But = this is the first time I use a unix-like system so I hope you will be = very patient with me .=20 My e-mail address is albertodegiorgi@iol.it=20 Hoping to receive your reply very soon I send you my best regards Massimo De Giorgi ------=_NextPart_000_0004_01BE59F9.BEA70C20 Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD W3 HTML//EN"> <HTML> <HEAD> <META content=3Dtext/html;charset=3Diso-8859-1 = http-equiv=3DContent-Type> <META content=3D'"MSHTML 4.72.3110.7"' name=3DGENERATOR> </HEAD> <BODY> <DIV><FONT face=3D"Book Antiqua">Dear Sir or Madame ,</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3D"Book Antiqua">I had some problems trying to install = FREEBSD=20 from a MS-DOS partition .
