[-- Attachment #1 --] I have searched through the FAQ and the FreeBSD handbook but nowhere have I found how to make my own installation CD - only talk about Walnut Creek cds. I have burnt a couple of cds now but the installation cannot find my bin... directories. Question: What do I name the directory where I put all the directories and files I've downloaded in order for the installation program (kern.flp+mfsroot.flp) to find them? I have managed to install FreeBSD from a dos partition as per errata.txt I have put the directories in a c:\releases folder. I do not want to waste any more cds trying to get it right! In the Handbook I found only the directories recommended for download and how I make the floppies to boot the installation + hints about the Walnut Creek CDs. I'm sure the answer is out there, but I'm anxious to get the FreeBSD up and running. Thanks and regards (I have downloaded the 3.1-Stable) Mikael Stromberg Lulea/Sweden mikael@larson-lind.se [-- Attachment #2 --] <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" http-equiv=Content-Type> <META content="MSHTML 5.00.2314.1000" name=GENERATOR> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=#ffffff> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have searched through the FAQ and the FreeBSD handbook but nowhere have I found how to make my own installation CD - only talk about Walnut Creek cds.
