please respond directly, as i'm not subscribed to the list. - i am have problems installing 2.2.2 on a 3.8G drive. i would appreciate any tips from someone that has done so. - wd0 W95 (0-62=MBR) (63-504M=W95) (plus a few sectors leftover) wd1 CD - drive 2 is a CDROM wd2 BSD (i allocate ALL the space for FreeBSD - all 3,8G). - i use the install defaults (/=32M, swap=~40M, /var=30M, /usr=3500M). the root is well below the 500M limit for an IDE. - from Alt-F4 during the install, i see everything is fine. also Alt-F2 show no problems during the install, other than 2 consecutive complaints about illegal characters after builing the superblocks (illegal character 0x34). - i Set the W95 and BSD partitions as bootable, and select and MBR for each. after rebooting, i can't boot F5 (wd2). ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
