I am currently attempting to install FreeBSD 2.2.5 on a 486 with the floppy drive (I don't have a CD drive). My problem comes when I get to the commit menu. I tell it yes, insert the first disk in the set and it accesses the floppy drive. Then tells me that it couldn't extract the selected packages (bin, manpages, dict, etc.) because they are probably not available on the selected installation media. Yet I've explicitly followed the instructions on creating the floppies from the CD. If you could give me some solutions to help resolve this, aside from doing the obvious and upgrade to a better machine, it would be much apreciated. Don't worry about responding to the address in the header. For some strange reason I can send mail but I can't receive it, so please respond to alphaomega_1984@yahoo.com Thanks.
