After a while, you will be asked to insert the mfsroot.flp. If that finishes too, you will be asked to configure the kernel (is that what you mean?). Go into visual configuration and switch off anything that causes conflicts and which you don't need (basically, drivers for hardware you don't have). After that, you'll go into the visual installation program and you're off. Cheers, Eelke P.s.: I'm not sure what the policy on this list is, but switching from HTML-mail to plain text mail will save a few people some headaches and get you more "coverage", as not everyone is capable of reading HTML-mail. -- Eelke Blok, http://haywire.student.utwente.nl To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
