I Formated my hard drive and only installed dos 6.22 and have removed
Windows 95 complety from my system and again I get the same error message.
Error mounting /dev/wd1s2 on /dos: invalid argument (22)
JW>Good news: FreeBSD 2.2 doesn't use the msdosfs for installation, but a

Should I download FreeBSD 2.2? I'm a beginger to Unix is 2.2 stable enough
for me to pratic on? I'm wanting to start up my own ISP using BSD it was a
recomendation for the ISP now he runs it and I have gotten use to it.
Thanks Joe
