Thanks to all who have explained the situation to me. I think what I'll go ahead and do is return the FreeBSD 2.0 CD to WC, and wait for 2.1. Kind of depresssing actually, I was hoping to be able to use it. However, the CD->DOS->install won't work too well for me, as I don't have a lot of extra hard drive space, having now made partitions for FreeBSD, DOS, and Linux. Thanks again.
