I just got freeBSD version 2.1.6 from walnut creek. I first tried to install from dos with the command install so the cd-rom ran and then chk out the system then contiuned on to a menu. The menu just locked up did not work. Next I tried to make a boot disk so from the cd I typed makeflp so I put a floppy disk in my drive it formatted it then copied the image on to it. Then I rebooted my system. My system is a gateway 2000 p5-60 with 16m and 2 IDE hard drives. So anyways I just rebooted with the floppy disk and then it prompts I just hit enter. It runs a bunch of text then comes up to a menu do u want to configure the kernal in visual mode advanced or skip this and contiune with installing. So I goto configure in visual mode. Next at the top it says 21 conflicts so I expand and try to fix the conflicts there are cards in there that I don't even have and they are conflicting with my system so I delete them. And my cd-rom is conflicting so I try diff ports and it stopped same with my mouse. So there are no more conflicts I hit q and save it. It then goes to this menu. Well I setup the harddrive in automode I let the program deside what I need but then I go to the novice install and the menu driven program is jacked I hit space bar on the packages I want then this DEC encryption program keeps on coming up so I hit skip for that I also tried selecting everything so I goback to the main there is an X for the package I selected so I try to install another section the dumnb DEC encryption thing comes up again. So i go back to the main and the X is now on the package I just selected and the other x is gone. So I am just using the space bar to select the packages. My mouse was not working so I am not sure if the menu program even supports a mouse. Next I go to install the packages just to see if it will even install says CD-ROM not found..... This damn thing is really pissing me offf.
