I'm installing via boot floopies and ppp ftp. I have a 1.2g partition on my 2nd harddrive that I'm willing to dedicate to it. My primary is Windows. (ME if it makes a diff ) the major thing I'm not too sure about is whether I should tell it I want it to put things in the boot partition or not, and then wether I need to make drive c "bootable" or not. I mean I know it needs to be for dos, and it is currently of course, but FBSD does'nt seem to recognize that fact. I thought I had it done right this morning but after I powered down it said bad partition. I want c: drive to be accesible as /c and d: as /d: ( ESPECIALLY D: ) which are both FAT32 so that I can easily retrieve files I have stored there and put somethere 2 if I choose too. Please help. Otherwise I'll just stay with Linux Troy n6rej@tcsn.net "I do not understand what I do, for what I want to do I do not do but what I hate I do" Rom 7:15 NIV To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
