I have an old 486 (~100MB, 8MB RAM) gathering dust in the corner of my room. FreeBSD seems ideal to put it to some use. After some lengthy navigation around your site I finally got to download fdimage and bootfl~1.fl. I could only download this through IE5.0 into a directory in Win95 and then fdimage it to floppy afterwards, (I have no DOS FTP access). After following the instructions I checked the disk and it is blank ,or, seems to be blank. Is there anything wrong with this procedure?
