can the machine you are going to install on, directly connect to the net? if so, then you only need one file.. floppies/boot.flp this is an image of a floppy. in the tools directory there is a dos program called rawrite.exe, which will write this image to a floppy. (1.2M or 1.44M, it doesn't matter) boot off this floppy and it should put you in a menu select all the options that show you documentation. and read that first.. Unix Assumes you've read the docs.. otherwise you can delete all your files real quick or similar. then select the install option.. choose the novice install and let it do as much automatically as you can.. you can always change ot later if you want to.. select the 'install via FTP' option and when asked, select either slip, PPP, or ethernet (accordingly (cuaa0, cuaa1, or some ethernet (e.g. ed0)) there are lots of docs via the web page too. take another good look.. you'll need it.. you can always try several times. julian > > Help! > I know nothing of unix, which is why i am interested in Freebsd.
