Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-current@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG >From the DOS SETUP.EXE I get the following when trying to prepare for a DOS install. "BIN.INF: .INF file is corrupt. Press ESC" While in the FreeBSD install/setup program (from the boot floppy) I can't get the system to find the packages. Everything has been put in C:\FREEBSD (all caps too if that matters) and I even tried converting the bin.inf file to DOS ASCII and get the same problem. The file system is FAT (not FAT32) running Win98 and I can't figure out what might be wrong.
