[-- Attachment #1 --] Hi, I am a future user (beginner) of FreeBSD, and I have already read all about the installation instructions. But I miss some information. However, I have a PC with already installed Windows 2000 on it. Also, there are 2 partitions on it. So, my questions are: 1. What should I know about the installation of FreeBSD, concerning the partitions? Or, more precisely, is the second existing partition all I need to start off with the installation? 2. I will install FreeBSD from a CD. Do I need to make 2 floppy diskettes (prior the installation) with the images of floppies\kern.flp and floppies\mfsroot.flp, or the installation CD is all I need? The partition size is 10 GB, so I think, there will be no problems with regard to the hard disk memory space. Also, I have 128 MB RAM. Best regards, Marjan [-- Attachment #2 --] <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" http-equiv=Content-Type> <META content="MSHTML 5.00.3018.900" name=GENERATOR> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=#ffffff> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi,</FONT></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am a future user (beginner) of FreeBSD, and I have already read all about the installation instructions.
