I am a single mother of three trying to find a new operating system for my laptop to free up my computer for my children. However, i am unable to purchase operating software because it is just to expensive and i cant afford to. I was reading your web site and was wondering if you had a free version of this on 3.5 floppy disks. My laptop only has floppy. if you could help please let me know. Thanks Earlene Your laptop didn't come with an OS? FreeBSD does have free bootable floppies but these are used only in preparation for installing the whole (or minimal) set of files for the OS over FTP. Many here would recommend you have high bandwidth Internet (fast connection) if you plan to do so. -- Peter Leftwich President & Founder Video2Video Services Box 13692, La Jolla, CA, 92039 USA +1-413-403-9555 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
