If I try to use FIPS from e:\tools, the message I get is: > CDR101:Not ready, reading drive E > Abort, Retry, Fail? Hm. My guess is that you need to read the usage instructions for FIPS, which should be included on the CDROM, or in FIPS's distribution zipfile in \tools\dist. You should be using it on a clean-boot floppy, not directly from the CDROM or on an active disk (especially one using DoubleSpace). One other note: Be aware of the can of worms you are opening...FreeBSD requires time and energy and lots of TLC to get going. It's not as easy as DOS, where you can install-and-go. 90MB is going to be a tight installation.
