I have also no network access to another computer. I can = just download the installation software form the FreeBSD web site. Is = there a way to install FreeBSD in such situation? If it is absolutely = impossible - can I boot from COMPACT FLASH (IBM X30 has COMPACT FLASH = slot - I can put there also IBM 1 GB micro drive) or from a USB MEMORY = KEY? Thank you very much for your help! Best regards, Iavor
