One of them is a live filesystem, but there seems to be no documentation on how to actually use that particular cd. I've been successful in getting the installation It's just for convenience - you don't need it for the installation. give a brief summary of what to do? I've tried the dos utility "fbsdboot.exe", and it *almost* works. The boot hangs at the point where the cdrom is about to be mounted as root (-C option). Not surprised - it's not what fbsdboot is expecting. It only works with the first CD, not the live one. --- Jordan
