I'm very interested in installing it into my system. FreeBSD comes in bite-sized chunks for easy downloading by modem. If you have a CDROM drive, I highly suggest buying the CD from Walnut Creek CDROM, http://www.cdrom.com. Otherwise, you should grab the following directories: FreeBSD File Requirements: REQUIRED: floppies/boot.flp (boot floppy image) tools/fdimage.exe (DOS bootfloppy image writer) bin/* RECOMMENDED: manpages/ compat*/ doc/ (at your discretion) src/ssys.* Run fdimage to make a boot floppy, then boot it. See the Handbook at http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/install.html for furhter assistance; if that still stumps you post to questions@freebsd.org. > I do however have another question: Will my windows 95 programs be > supported by your operating system, and software such as Netscape > Communicator, and so forth. FreeBSD doesn't have Windows 95 emulation at current, but we do have a FreeBSD-native version of Communicator. > If you could please point me to the correct FTP for downloading a full > copy of your program, I would highly appreciate it. ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/2.2.5-RELEASE/ Doug White | University of Oregon Internet: dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu | Residence Networking Assistant http://gladstone.uoregon.edu/~dwhite | Computer Science Major
