Any suggestion? > That depends on what you want to do. If all you want to do is install the minimal install of FreeBSD, then disc1 will do the job. If you want to install "extra" stuff (like X, bash, sudo, etc.) you will probably need disc2 as well. Or you can use disc1 to install FreeBSD minimal, then run sysinstall afterwards and get everything else you need directly off the internet. -- Paul Schmehl (pauls@utdallas.edu) Senior Information Security Analyst The University of Texas at Dallas http://www.utdallas.edu/ir/security/
