I know I burned the image to the CD correctly because I have another PC machine and it will boot up fine from that one. So, If I try making bootable floppies, will it work? if so what files, or where, do I get them? I got a lot of responses. Everyone is so willing to help on this list, it's nice. I'm sure I'll have more questions once I get the OS installed. Thanks everyone, elina To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
