What I would like to do is to download the distribution on a Linux partition and install from there. Is it possible to mount a Linux file system from the installation floppy? Linux is great and FreeBSD seems to be great too! Thanks. -- Denis Laroche 16 Horizon Crescent Pointe-Claire, Quebec, Canada H9S 5V1 email or
