Hello, I just bought Freebsd Cd-rom from walnut creek cd-rom and was trying to do a minimum install. Everything was going fine except when it asked me for confirmation to install it on a freebsd partition i have created , after confirming i get msg that "Write failure on transfar...." and after that i get the msg that "unable to transfer the bin distribution from wdOs1."(ms-dos partition) Since i have a proprietory cd-rom(creative lab cd-rom drive --quad speed), i was unable to install(novice installation) from cd-rom. So i copied the dists/bin to c:\freebsd\bin and also floppies directory to c:\freebsd\floppies. Then i tired to do a minimal installaiton and went through the process of installing form ms-dos partition but at the end got the msg mentioned above. I will play with installtion more to see that i can work it out or not. Meanwhile if anybody cab provide me with some info on this (so that life would be a little easier) i would greatly appreciate it. Also i was wondering how can install from the cd-ROM i have? Any help would be greatly appreciated. My machine is a pentium75 with 8 megs of ram(soon to be upgraded) with a total of 1.2gb Hd (currently available 847mb) running win95/msdos7.00. Thanks in advance. Sincerely, Sohel ............................................................................
