:-) Hi! Is this the correct list for this type of question? It said not to send general "how-to" questions to the technical lists, but I'm not sure whether or not *this* is one of them. I am using VirtualPC 2.0 with Windows95 and wish to have FreeBSD 2.2.8. Partitioning is no problem, but what is the recomended size for a maximum install with plenty of space left over, but still running Windoze? (2.8GB avail. for both together). And is it really necessary to partition separately for each directory, or may I simply have one for swap and one for /, since I won't be doing any multi-user things with it (desktop only)? The best way to install for me is from DOS partition, so I would like to know how to. Specifically: what do I download besides FreeBSD/releases/<2.2.8-foldername> to get the biggest possible collection of everything installable from FreeBSD.org? (Mirror site is local to me, I get 1000K/sec). And does anyone know about any listings/searches/etc. for FreeBSD programs? Like a links page, something on umich, etc.? Is there a webring? Is there a FAQ that tells all of this that I missed and am bothering you and making you mad? ;-) I'm a *good* little newbie, yes I am.
