[-- Attachment #1 --] I have tried all day to install FreeBSD with no success. I'm beginning to think that there must be a hardware problem. My system is as follows: Dell Dimension XPS B866MHZ Pentium III, QuietKey Keyboard, Microsoft Intellimouse, 256MB RDRAM, 3COM V.90 PCI Telephony Modem, 48x Max Variable CD ROM, Dell P991 Trinitron Monitor, 32MB DDR nVidia GeForce2 GTS 4X APG Graphics Card, 80GB Ultra ATA Hard Drive (5400RPM),3COM 3C905C-TXM 10/100 Remote Wakeup Network Card. I can't access the Eratta.Txt or Trouble.Txt, but I have read pretty much everything else and have gone through the install about 20 times. I can't think of any other varibles and am down to thinking that it must be a hardware problem. I would appreciate any information or help with this. I am trying to use the most standard, inclusive choices that are available. Although I bought this release (4.1) only a month ago, I see that 4.2 is now available. Since my hardware is pretty current, perhaps the more recent release would be better at autodetecting. At htis point i am just grabbing at straws. thanks for your help - Patrick [-- Attachment #2 --] <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" http-equiv=Content-Type> <META content="MSHTML 5.00.3019.2500" name=GENERATOR> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=#ffffff> <DIV><FONT size=2>I have tried all day to install FreeBSD with no success.
