Hiya Bradley; The best you can try for is an ftp install.. on the site you'll need to two files.. BOOT.FLP and RAWRITE.EXE, just execute C:> RAWRITE BOOT.FLP <---- this will create the freebsd bootdisk, after its done just reboot using bsd bootdisk, also if your new to FreeBSD, I highly recommend a book called 'The Complete FreeBSD' by Greg Lehey.. if you do pickup this book, there are some errors or changes that has occurred since it release. the errata's can be found on www.lemis.com/errata-2.html.. -=-=-=-=-=-=- Richard Broza -=-=-=-=-=-=- web: http://members.tripod.com/~Arawn email: wwolf@rogers.wave.ca Powered by Pepsi / FreeBSD 2.2.6 -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- On Sun, 29 Mar 1998, Rasputin wrote: > Hello.
