Bartolomie > JGB1503@borg.com > It seems you have good internet connectivity, so do the following: Get the boot.flp from the ftp site ftp.freebsd.org://pub/FreeBSD/2.1.0-RELEASE/floppies/boot.flp You can use dd if=boot.flp of=/dev/rfd0a obs=18k (for a 1.44 MB floppy) or use rawrite.exe from DOS (This is in the 2.1.0-RELEASE/tools directory - I believe) Boot that floppy and follow the installation instructions. As install media choose ftp and a site near you. --Chris Christoph P. U. Kukulies kuku@gil.physik.rwth-aachen.de
