If you have the FreeBSD CD, then this is the way to go. Install the base system, rebuild the kernel with ie support, then continue. The fact that you mentioned this as a viable option makes me believe you have a CD to install from. Rebuilding the kernel afterwards is relatively easy provided you read the handbook first. If you don't have the CD then it will involve further work. One possibility is installing from an MSDOS partition. The handbook (and faq) covers many installation options. Also re-ask the question on the -questions list. David To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
