Hi, I come from Hong Kong. I heard about FreeBSD from Guide To the Most
Harmless Hacking Digest. I've met a problem during installation--all the
distribution 's files not found especially BIN.INF but I've already made a
directory C:\FREEBSD and put BIN under it.
The problem above was happened on yesterday.(there have more problems
which had been solved now happened before. :) Today, I try to install again
and the result same. So I decided to connect to one of the mirror site
looking around BIN/ since the main report said that BIN.INF is corrupted or
something(I forgot it). Accidentally, I mentioned that all of my
distributions directories were stored in BIG CAPITAL and the BIN.MTREE was
stored in BIN~1.MTR(the real name is it too and the others .MTREE also).
I want to ask:
1. Must all installation files named as it original form(small capital)?
2. If I boot WIN95 from a Virus Scan bootscan disk(That mean no GUI is
loaded) and use xcopy /s, will it name all the destination files in
BIG
CAPITAL and copy the SHORT FILE NAME instead of the REAL LONG
FILE NAME?
