Is this space you freed located inside an extended partition? If so, that won't work. FreeBSD can only be installed in a primary partition.

Should not be a problem. > 2) Can i run a network installation? Absolutely. There are several ways to install FreeBSD, among others from CD-ROM, FTP, floppy, FAT disk, NFS, etc. (Windows file sharing would be tricky though.) with kind regards, Rogier Steehouder -- ___ _ -O_\ // | / Rogier Steehouder //\ / \ r.j.s@gmx.net // \ <---------------------- 25m ----------------------> To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
