Hello, the boot.flp is an image file. To write it to disk download rawrite.exe. File will create your boot disk from the image like so.... rawrite boot.flp a: The readme files describe what files are needed. As a side note, you may wish to look at www.cdrom.com and get the FreeBSD CD-Rom. When I was first learning FreeBSD I must have installed it over 20 times(tweaking this and changing that)... the CD make it much nicer.

I am quite new to the system but find it amazingly interesting and am willing to spend some time trying to figure it out. So I decided to write you a little note explaining my problems: When I try to copy the boot.blp t a floopy it does not let me, it says to insert a higher capacity disk. Also which files should I download to have just the basic system? Can I run the setup from Windows 95 or NT? I am sorry to bother you with this simple request but I am sure other people have run into the same problems. I would very much appreciate your response. Sincerely, Luciano.
