[-- Attachment #1 --] Sorry for wasting you valuable time but... I recently bought the book, UNIX: Unleashed which is a 1000 page, hardback manual of UNIX it includes a CD with FreeBSD on it. I have 2 computers one an AMD 266 Voodoo 3 high-spec machine the other an Intel P100, 8Meg RAM, 800 MB HD with no CD drive. I was wondering if you could help me with a problem I am having. First can I run FreeBSD and the attached X Window system? If no then don't read on. I have transferred the installation files to the laptop via a parallel cable to the laptop HD and created a boot disk. The installation program ran but said I didn't have enough drive space (I have only 200MB free). What do you recommend? format and the making of a totally UNIX system, the clearing o disk space (is it worth it?) or download the new version of FreeBSD. Thanx for your help. I understand that you are busy and appreciate you don't have time for a detailed reply but and advice is god advice. Much appreciated. BorrisYeltsin, You humm it, I'll sing it!
