Learning the in's and out's of UNIX has been confusing to me as well, and means in many ways unlearning some stuff I knew before. But if you will just d/load the file fdimage.exe and boot.flp for the version of BSD you are wanting to install, you practically have it made. Then all that is required is for you to cd to the directory you put them in and type... fdimage boot.flp a: In a little while you will have a boot disk that will allow you to ftp to the site of your choice to finalize the install. I probably wouldn't recommend doing this over a dialup connection though. Might take a llllloooongggg time. ........................................ . Bill Beavers, Technology Coordinator . .
