Well considering that I ran into problems on both trys I guess maybe you can give me some help. First let me tell you the Error message when I tried installing from CDROM. It said: Error mounting /dev/wcd0c on /dist: Input/Output Error (5) I have a Hitatchi IDE Cdrom. The FreeBSD partition is the second partion on my hardrive (I only have one hardrive). The first partition is dedicated to Win95. I don't know what other information you might need. Okay, as for installing from a DOS partition. I tried copying everything from the CDROM to my DOS partition, but it stops and says: F86-CX.TGZ not found. I'm wondering the hell that is, and is it necessary? Maybe I can omit something from the menu's that will make the copying process not look for that and must move on. I do want a XFree86 system though. Although maybe Accelerated X would be better, I'm not sure. But I'll make do with what I have at the moment. Can anyone either help me fix the cdrom problem or the dos partion problem? Thanks in advance. :) Bear ============================================================== = Joey "Bear" Garcia = = Downey, CA = = jbgarcia@inreach.com = = 310-898-8556 (pager) = ============================================================== = "If your still in control, you're not driving fast enough" = ==============================================================
