Dear Sirs is just a couple of simple questions 1) In your installation guide section named 2.5.3 Creating Slices using FDisk (...) If you have already made space for FreeBSD (perhaps by using a tool such as Partition Magic) then you can press C to create a new slice. Again, you will be prompted for the size of slice you would like to create. When finished, press Q. Your changes will be saved in Sysinstall, but will not yet be written to disk. (...) Are you not forgetting to mention that when a new FreeBSD slice is created, user needs to press S to set the slice as Bootable? 2) If I download my distributions using FTP, and using Microsoft Internet Explorer to access the FTP mirror, can I just download the files as they are or will they be downloaded then in the wrong format. I.E. Do I need to use a dedicated FTP program and ensure that the binaries are downloaded as binaries and not ASCII, or will MS Internet Explorer pick up the correct default format Thanks for your attention and I look forward to your answer Pablo Pastor Marconi Liverpool, UK ------------ This e-mail and any attachments are confidential.
