Hi,		

I'm installing FreeBSD on a Pentium computer.  I purchased 
the Walnut Creek CD.  My CDROM is not in the computer I am 
installing to, so over my Windows network I copied the 
appropriate files onto my computer's hard drive.  Then, 
using the computer with the CDROM drive, I made the boot.flp 
floppie using makeflp.bat.  I then used that floppie to boot 
my computer.  It appears to start booting, then it says 
'uncompressing kernel' then it says 'invalid compressed 
format,  system halted'.  What should I do?

Thank you for your time,

Andrew Smith
