Reserved diskspace 182MB for FreeBsD. The DICT and the INFO installed succefully. The BIN DOC MANPAGES PROFKIBS DICT INFO has been transferred to the DOS partition. Unfortunately the FreeBsD does not support BACKPACK CD drives connected to the parallel port. My machine is a pentium pc. Can anyone help?? Thank you in advance.
