You can install from floppies (everything you need is on the CD), the "official" instructions for making the floppies are the handbook (www.freebsd.org), various other newbie and tutorial material at the same site & also the "Complete FreeBSD". Both the manual & the Complete FreeBSD are better than average docs, although they do assume a fair degree of unix experience. As for "unofficial" documentation, I've written a really pedantic guide for newbies installing from floppies, the intention of which was to make it easier for those with NO prior knowledge at http://www.apana.org.au/FreeBSD/FreeBSD_Tutorial/ ----- Original Message ----- From: "Yon Thulung_rai" <yanraiwelcome@hotmail.com> To: <freebsd-doc@FreeBSD.ORG> Sent: Sunday, May 14, 2000 5:02 PM Subject: I couldn't install FreeBSD 3.4 help > Hello; > > I bought the FreeBSD version 3.4 from Walnut Creek a while ago and I am > trying to install it but I couldn't because my CD-ROM doesn't function.
