I tried last night to install the BSD copy I have which is version 2.2.5. I had a lot of problems even after I switched tout the DVD drive for a regular CD drive. While the regular CD drive worked, I had repeated problems first with the DVD drive, then the screen, finally the intellimouse. Is there a set of instructions which may make the installation a little easier. As I said volume on the hard drive is not an issue. I created the area for the BSD installation using powerquest's partition magic. If anyone has some suggestions, like a step by step meathod for an idiot, I would appreciate them. thank you.
