Try getting the boot floppies and using rawrite.exe or fdimage.exe to burn those images to floppy. Once the install program is up and running you can copy bin.aa and the rest of the files from your DOS partition. If you have network access (and I'm assuming that you do since you sent this email) you can install the entire distribution from the 'net. See http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/install.html for complete step by step instructions. -- Jim On Thu, 1 Jun 2000, Tyler Spivey wrote: > why can't i copy the dist onto floppies? i use dos copy to copy bin.aa, > ab,ac,ad,ae,and af and it can't read it. > what do i do?? > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
