Once you've got those, you should be able to get a FreeBSD system running, and then you can get any other stuff you need easier. You'll probably also need to make a boot floppy as well, the instructions should be in one of the *.TXT files in the 3.1-RELEASE directory. -- Ben Smithurst ben@scientia.demon.co.uk To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
