The machine is attached to thin Ethernet which in turn is directly connected to the Internet. The computer is running Windows 3.x. In addition the computer has an FTP client and our connection is very fast. How would I go about converting the machine to BSD without a CD drive? In otherwords, is there a way of installing the Boot section while windows is active, and then installing the full system after rebooting from the UNIX boot section? Without a CD Drive, I can't think of alternative ways to accomplish this task. Your assistance is appreciated. Please forward this to any technical expert that can offer advice. Sincerely, David R.
