I bought my first computer (AMD-K6) in February and became interested in =
installing Free BSD. After downloading the boot.flp file I noticed the =
file was 1.40 MB. But when I formatted my 1.44 MB disk, it only leaves =
1.38 left over, and i am unable to transfer it to my disk. I have =
access to 2.0 MB disks, and 1.0 GB SparQ disks, but the FAQ says BSD =
requires 1.44 MB disks. What am I doing wrong?
Thank You Very Much.
