[-- Attachment #1 --] Hi, I downloaded the the two floppy programs,(FreeBSD 3.3 kern.flp, mfsboot.flp) and followed install instructions. All seems to go well until I'm told I need to set the time zone; It goes to the next step without giving the opportunity to set it. Same thing with setting up root. Then it allows me to set up other users, but when I complete one I get an error message; "pw has encountered an unexpected status 99" and dosn't take any data. System is a 586/133 w/16MB 520MB hard Drive I'm new to unix but not PCs Thanks for any help! Carl You don't know, What you don't know!
