Hi,

I am bit new to freebsd. I would like to install FreeBSD with below=20
specifications. How do I go about it.

My Hardware -- a dell server with below configuration.

 CPU: Dual Xeon 3.0GHz/2MB Cache
RAM: 2GB (with room to grow to 12GB)
Drive: 3 x 73GB SCSI with RAID 5 config
Power: Dual power supply
Rack: 2U and the server can take 6 drives.


So can please let me know on how to go about installing freebsd 5.3 on the=
=20
above configuration with RAID 5 hardware.

Thank you.

--=20
