To: questions@FreeBSD.org Organisation: Dept. of Artificial Intelligence, Univ. of Edinburgh. Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I have a 486DX4 which I am considering to have as: My main Hard Disc 1.2Gb mainly for Windows 95 (euch, but I have to). An Iomega JAZ drive (2Gb) with cartridge containing FreeBSD operating system (and such like). I would make a floppy boot disk so that I can bootup in linux (is this possible?). But then will I be able to read from the JAZ drive, which is internal on IDE? I'm also a bit unsure of the installation procedure. I've been looking at src.doc.ic.ac.uk computing/operating-systems/unix/FreeBSD/ but it all looks a bit confusing. Can you explain this a bit more generally - if I download a copy from here where do I 'put' it to install it? Thanks. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ :Alan Ogilvie : A.T.Ogilvie@ed.ac.uk (Personal): :WWW Page/s : http://www.tardis.ed.ac.uk/~alan/ (Personal): ------------------------------------------------------------------------ "Some men see things as they are and say 'why?'
