I have the 4 disk set for 3.2. I tried installing from the CD but FreeBSD does not find the CD drive when it does the hardware probe. I've given up on trying to install from CD. I already patitioned the hard drive. I have decided to install FreeBSD from the partition with Microsoft Windows 98 already on it. My question is what files should I copy from the CD onto my hard drive to get FreeBSD on my machine so I can use FreeBSD with X and most of programs a clueless newbie like myself would need to learn? About my computer it is a hp 4440 AMD K6-2/333 64 MB ram 4 GB hard drive I intend to use 1.5 for FreeBSD and lastly a 32X cd-rom drive that cannot be found during the hardware probe !
