firstly, why are you trying to use FreeBSD 2.0? it's ancient.. freebsd 2.2.5 has been out for ages and 2.2.6 is imminent. teh installs and devices supported are far superior to 2.0 (since 2.0 ther was 2.0.5, 2.1.0 2.1.5 2.1.6 2.1.7 2.2.0 2.2.5 (possibly more that I forgot) On Mon, 26 Jan 1998, Tony Hall wrote: > Hi , > I am based in Brisbane but doing development on a US server > > I am currently trying to install BSD 2.0 of a CD and am encountering the > following installation problems > > I am attemptong to install on a 100 Mhz cyrix 586 16M Ram 540M HDD > using an ACER 20X CD ROM (IDE) > However I cannot get the system to read the CD as it is an unsupproted type > Is there a drive that I can install for this CD use a newer release. > > I was wanting to download 2.1 but looking at the site I am not sure which > files I need to download skip 2.1 and get into 1996 with the 2.2 series :) If this machine is here in the states and you are in OZ how are you doing the install? > Can you helop me in this regard > > Thanks in advance > > Tony Hall > > >
