Actually, I've grown tired of using the "Worlds Most Complex Computer Virus" for an OS, otherwise known as Win95, and decided to take the FreeBSD path about a week ago. So far I've managed to download the minimum files to do the install from DOS, make the boot disk, and gather what reference material I've been able to dig up on the net. I'd like to buy a reference manual before I TRY my first install, but haven't found anything to get excited about yet. Any suggestions anyone??
