I did download the floppy image and the fdimage.exe. Is it only those file that >i need to ready operate FreeBSD OS ? You're halfway home. Use fdimage.exe to make a bootable floppy, reboot your computer with the bootable floppy in the drive and follow the directions. I don't recommend this method if you have a dial up analog phone line. It could take hours to download all the software. If an analog line is your only connection to the Internet, go by Walnut Creek's CD-ROM site and order "The Complete FreeBSD" book and companion CD-ROM. This gives you all the software plus a great tutorial. You can find them (I believe) at http://www.cdrom.com If that address doesn't work, FreeBSD's website had a link to order it under "Getting FreeBSD" Hope you enjoy FreeBSD as much as I do, Dave Ason dgason@mindspring.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
