So far so good; except if i try to install from the Boot Floppies using Install From A Dos Partition it can't seem to find the FreeBSD directory (or at least it complains that it can't install any of the dists, including /bin). I've put a "FREEBSD" directory on each of my drives in the hope one will work. Nope. Next, try the DOS install from the \tools directory. So far so good, only now it claims that bin.inf is corrupt. I've downloaded bin.inf several times, in several formats (Binary, Ascii). Corrupt, corrupt, corrupt. *Looks* fine, as far as I can tell - looks like a text file. But "Corrupt" it is. Help? I really want to get this 200+ download to actually work! Is there anything else I should try? -- Mike Cugley, lunatic at large http://freespace.virgin.net/michael.cugley/ http://freespace.virgin.net/michael.cugley/Art/ Mike's Doom Quake - http://www.crosswinds.net/dundee/~korvar/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
