Hiya all, It looks like I've managed to get FreeBSD 5.3 installed now, at least partially. I can get to the prompt. The problem I had originally was the CD images would not boot. I got short read etc, but I could boot the boot only iso. (Not sure why that would be is there a different Kernel?). The next problem was the I could not delete the Solaris slices already on the hard drive to make room for the FreeBSD files. However, I swapped the hard drive for a spare blank drive and hooray things started to happen. Although the sysinstall screen was screwed up a bit, I was able to install what I needed. Mu next question, is what version should I update too? The machine has creator graphics etc. I would like to use xwindows/kde. Many thanks to those who helped. Rob
