I have a laptop that I would like to install the CD 2.2.2-R version ... and I have not had alot of luck installing from the FTP stuff ... therefore, I purchased the CD ... and I am not having alot of luck getting it installed on a laptop ... I tried a parrallel port BACKPACK CD from DOS (I only have 500MG ... so a DOS install won't work well as I would like to have BSD on the entire disk) and another possibility would be a SCSI PCMCIA Adaptec 1460A with a SCSI CD. It appears that the 1460 is NOT supported? Anyone able to do this and make it work?? I also have a 3COM card connected and I guess I could install from the another machine with a CDROM via IP address?? Any/all help would be appreciated as I would really like to install and use this on a laptop. -Bob- -- Bob Angell, Principal - Sys.
