> now i download all files to my windows directory > how can i install freebsd? could you suggest website for me? Sure. I'm sorry if I didn't mention this earlier. The handbook talks you through the installation process: http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/install.html You'll need to pull copies of kern.flp and mfsroot.flp and make boot disks using fdimage.exe. The web page above discusses this. Note that the boot disks are not MSDOS formatted floppies (you do NOT copy these .flp files to a floppy). You must use fdimage.exe if you are making boot floppies under Windows. Also, as I mentioned in an earlier message. I suggest you get the compat2* and manpages directories as well. This doesn't take much longer to download, and gives you some useful stuff. After you make the floppies, boot from kern.flp. It will ask you for mfsroot after a bit. Then the installation menu will appear. Follow the instructions (there is online help) and you shouldn't have any trouble.
