Re-sending e-mail of yesterday. I have a primary DOS partition of 2 GB and an extended one of 4 GB. I re-partitioned my primary one (using defrag and fips) to keep a primary one of 1.5 GB (and deleted the second primary one of 500 MB as told in the FAQ). I then created a new boot floppy but just as before the re-partitioning the unused space the install program finds is not enough to install FreeBSD. It keeps on finding that 196192 out of the 196608 sectors are dedicated to FAT and does not seem to find the unused 500MB. After that I tried about everything: not deleting the second primary partition, setting it to active, formatting/ not formatting it, etc. With my limited DOS knowledge I am now getting quite desperate. Please help me. Anybody any clue what I am doing wrong ???
