I'm dedicating all 420 Megs to it. My first drive is a 540 Meg, dedicated to DOS & Windows. How do I tell the install program to look on my first drive for the DOS partition and the C:\FREEBSD directory? And, how will I mount my DOS drive later? Please don't tell me I'll need to copy everything to floppies... I really like the new install program over the one in 1.x, but I was a bit confused when looking at the Label section. The 1.x series walked you thru making the partitions you'd need (root, swap space, and /usr). 2.0.5 seems to expect you to know what you need and 'newbies' will probably be completely lost there. Perhaps there could be an 'example' document that illustrates the 'typical' configurations? I could even be persuaded to write it. Just my $0.02. -----Kris -- -=(*)=- Kristyn Fayette -=(*)=- kristyn@gnu.ai.mit.edu
