My, what a troll you are.  I'm surprised you even got Linux to run if you 
can't
make boot disks.  And what is this "running FreeBSD in NT" crap?  FreeBSD is 
an
operating system, you idiot, not an NT program.

What claims would these be?  I am not familiar with the claim that FreeBSD is 
an
NT program.

It's probably you.  The aha152x is old and has (probably) been supported for a
long time.

If you speak to these people like you speak in your mail, it's not the "daring
to question the god-like qualities of FreeBSD" that gets you contempt.

> i was forced to use the ftp server as my source of installation

No, you're just an idiot.

Not Mr. Hubbard's fault that you can't correctly type "make install"

Would these be the same disks I used to install FreeBSD several times?  Let me
guess, you put disk 2 in first.  Let's refresh: 1, 2, 3, 4...see how that 1
comes before 2?  Remember that.

So...you think FreeBSD should go out of their way to become an NT application?
FreeBSD is an OPERATING SYSTEM, not an application!  And it certainly should 
NT
go out of its way to clone NT!

> I WANT RESULTS!

When I want results, what generally works best for me is to burst into a place
where the people never heard of me and proceed to tell them that their fucking
product sucks and to fix it just for me right now.  Nine times out of ten 
these
people bend over backwards just to satisfy me a little bit better.

Good, FreeBSD doesn't need you.  Linux doesn't need you, either.

Why on earth would you want GNOME or even X for NT?  Unless you're X hosting
Solaris Maple or something, that's like saying "I want a Chevy in my Ford!"

Your post is puzzling since you use some technical terms, such as compressed
filesystems and UMSDOS filesystems, but you have absolutely no concept of what
an operating system is or how to correctly make a floppy disk.  I think you 
made
this all up and had some spare time to waste.
