Every time I try to install it it tells me I already have it installed and it only asks me if I want to overwrite it. I say yes. Then it says use the whole disk, and I say no. Then it quits. Before that it says 0 mb free on disk. When I de-installed 386bsd, because I wanted to have a dos partition too.. i used the "fdisk /mbr" command to remove it. now I can't get it to say I don't have it on anymore. I have a Segate 106 meg IDE drive. please help me out, and all the other people who are having the same trouble. any guesses? >I have had the same and other problems and I'm ending with one big >BSD partition without DOS. > you and me both. :)
