Dear Sir:

I am a novice who is trying to install FreeBSD 2.2.7 release on my PC.
I've installed
MS Windows98 in one FAT32 partition. Following is a list of my
hardwares:

CPU                     Pentium II-400 MHz
RAM                    128 MB
Mainboard            ASUS PII-B
Harddisk:              IBM IDE 7200 rpm 10.1 GB
SCSI controller:    Adaptec AHA-2940 UW PCI
Display Card:        Matrox Millennium G200 AGP
Sound Card:         Creative Ensoniq Audio PCI
CDROM:              TEAC 32X SCSI
Network Card:       DLink DFE-530TX PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter

Questions:
1. I am just wondering if these configurations supported by FreeBSD. If
not, what am I
    gonna do to install FreeBSD properly and correctly?

2. When I first tried to install FreeBSD, after detecting hardware
configurations, the
    installation program showed that "Syscon" and "PS/2 Mouse" ports
conflict to
    each other. What to do to get rid of this confliction? (I don't want
to oprate X
    windows without a mouse.)

3. In my IBM 10.1 GB harddisk, I fdisked two partitions, each takes 50%
of the
    harddisk space. The "C:" partition already has Win98 installed, and
I want to have
    FreeBSD installed in the "D:" partition. However, when it came to
the stage to create
    a FreeBSD slice, I found the maximum storage space all FreeBSD
slices take up is
    only a little more than 3 GB! This means I have to lose another 2 GB
unused! What
    happened?

I would really appreciate if you could kindly help me to sort out all
these problems. I
really want to try FreeBSD. Thank you very much!

Best regards,
Daniel
