I have an incompatible CDROM drive so Freebsd will not install onto my system. I used the dos version and got Freebsd up and running, however due to the incompatible drive, the applications will not install. I have put them all the hardrive with the bin etc and when i install it just says cant find the unix version of this file. I am a student and really need Freebsd running with apps. Can someone please help me as soon as possible. My mail address is cool@m130.aone.net.au TIA Ian McArdle
