[-- Attachment #1 --] Hi Greg... Don't worry, I remember you said you were going on holiday so this QUestion isn't important enough to need an urgent reply.. I have 3 computers, 1 for mucking about with, it saves me fiddling unnecesarily with the other 2. One of them is the Compaq Presario 2110 that I currently have FreeBSD running on because it is the only computer using FAT16.... (usually anyway) The other is a Mitsibushi Apricot, I decided to try and install FreeBSD on an old drive which I had lying about as I always do, bits of PC' here, there and everywhere. The drive is a measly 327Mb, the Primary drive is a 2Gb drive but runs on FAT32. When I tried installing FreeBSD on the Compaq It worked no problem, it has 32Mb RAM and an 8x CD-ROM. When I tried installing on the Apricot which has 48Mb RAM and a 24x CD-ROM it start OK when booting from floppy but after setting up the partition info on the drives it tells me it can't find the CD-ROM drive, it is either unsupported or not present...... I think it's a 'Vuego 24x MAX' It won't install over a DOS Partition either because of the FAT32. Help Me.... I decided this would solve the problem with X-Windows not working because it has an ATI 3D Rage II card which is compatible with Mach64 (It based on the Mach64 actually) and I know the Mach64 is supported by FreeBSD..... Do you have the answers or do only small coloured confectionary have the answers ?? P.S I will CC this to FreeBSD-Newbies as well Thanx Ian [-- Attachment #2 --] <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD W3 HTML//EN"> <HTML> <HEAD> <META content=text/html;charset=iso-8859-1 http-equiv=Content-Type><!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD W3 HTML//EN"> <META content='"MSHTML 4.72.2106.6"' name=GENERATOR> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=#ffffff> <DIV><FONT color=#000000 face=Verdana>Hi Greg...</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT color=#000000 face=Verdana></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT color=#000000 face=Verdana>Don't worry, I remember you said you were going on holiday so this QUestion isn't important enough to need an urgent reply..</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT color=#000000 face=Verdana></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT color=#000000 face=Verdana>I have 3 computers, 1 for mucking about with, it saves me fiddling unnecesarily with the other 2.
