Hello,

I have gotten a FreeBSD CD-rom for a friend, and I want to install it on =
an Olivetti p75 computer (formated hard drive, but DOS (only on =
bootdisk) and win95 are avilable). I have a boot disk for FreeBSD as =
well.

So me having made up my mind about UNIX being totally cool thing to have =
on my machine I put in the boot disk and the CD-rom, wait and suddenly I =
am told that I should configure kernel. HELP!!!

I understand that I should identify the hardware I have, but don't know =
what half of the options mean. (I know that I have Creative CD-rom, and =
that's about it)

So what do I do, and how?

P. S. I'm sorry to bother you with such idiot questions, but I tried to =
RTFM; in the one online I couldn't find anything explaining what I =
should do, and the one offered in the program, well...) I hope that =
you'll excuse my ignorance.
