Hi, I am new to the world of FreeBSD / Unix but cannot wait to introduce myself to it. I have designated an older (circa 1992) 486DX2 (PX486P3 motherboard) 66 Mhz with 8mb of ram machine and novell 2000 - compantible (NIC) (Linksys). (The machine does not have a CD-ROM drive and AMI 1992 BIOS does not allow me to install one). I spent my Sat and Sun trying to install the operating systme but still cannot get it to work properly. My ftp installs hang after 57% of completion (this is the best I could do) and my Floppy installs do not want to execute due to the system not being able to read floppy distributions. Is it possible to get FreeBSD to work on the above described computer? (My initial load shows 10 conflicts but I delete all "bogus" devices) Any advice you could give me? Thakn you in advance!
