Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hello, Just starting to work up the courage to install freeBSD, and I've got a few questions that I couldn't find answers for on the freeBSD site... - How do I download the kern.flp and mfsroot.flp files - are these on the freeBSD ftp site somewhere? - I've used fips on my single 10.G IDE drive (FAT32, LBA) to create a partition for Win98 (was already installed) and a second partition for unix. Do I need do anything to this 2nd partition e.g. format it, or partition it further before I install? - Any known compatability problems with Crystal PnP sound chip (on the motherboard) or 3D RagePro AGP video card or a Toshiba DVD-ROM SD-M1202? - I'm using LBA, and my first partition (for Win98) is about 5.5G - will unix have any problem booting on the 2nd partition? - About how long would it take to download freeBSD over a 56k modem (in the wee hours of the morning)?
