I copied over (after downloading to my desktop) the = binary dist, the manual pages, docs, info, and games -- using interlink. = On my laptop i put them into the C:\freebsd\bin ..\manpages ..\docs = ..\info and ..\games directories. The rebooted the computer with install = disk in. I configured the kernel removing conflicts (7 netcards and 1 pc = card were in conflic, i removed the netcards) It said pc card (slot(s)) = detected is this the medium you wish to use, i said no, then selected = ms-dos partition. I then went and made the slice (the HD is 800M and = when i used fdisk the last time i gave DOS-WIN 300M and left the rest = for freebsd) and made a 350M slice for freebsd, i used to autoconfigure = to break it up and continued. I then selected the various distributions = i wanted under the custum>> tag. hit enter and agreed this was what i = really wanted to do.. after about 2 seconds the machine stopped, this = is what was displayed making a new root filesystem on /dev/rad0s2a (i waited about 30 minutes = then gave up) I've never installed any version of *inx before (this project is to get = my feet wet) and any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance, Stanley ------=_NextPart_000_0005_01C00A04.80D58E00 Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META content=3D"text/html; charset=3Diso-8859-1" = http-equiv=3DContent-Type> <META content=3D"MSHTML 5.00.2614.3500" name=3DGENERATOR> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=3D#ffffff> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>Hello,</FONT></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2> I'm trying to = install=20 freebsd(4.1) on an old laptop (old notejet 486 with 8M of ram).
