Hello there, 

I read the article on installing FreeBSD on a Win 95 
 machine and also read through the handbook.
 I am trying to install FreeBSD on a machine running Windows 
 98 with a SCSI HDD, ATAPI (supported) CD-Rom. It's a 
 Pentium II 300 with 128 MB of RAM.
 
 I get the installer to run from the Autorun cd, and get 
 through setting the sizes for the partitians 
 for /usr /var / and the swap alright. When I pick any 
 configuration, it runs out of space.
 
 As far as I can figure, it is something to do with my 
 partician situation. Before I go and use fips to make 
 another partician, I want to make sure that the FAT32 will 
 not be a problem.

Thanks,

Andy
