Thanks Go to the FreeBSD web site http://www.freebsd.org/ Read lots of stuff and learn as much as you can. Most of the way down the first page of theweb site there is a paragraph headed with "Easy to install" at the bottom of that paragraph is a link saying you need 2 floppies and "these instructions." Click on it and then read pretty much everything in each of the indexed items on that page. Amongst the documentation you will find addresses where you can download boot images and make your own install floppies for free (except the cost of the two floppies). ////jerry > Earlene > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
