See the web page on http://www.freebsd.org for more info. Basically, you only have to download one file, dd it to a floppy, and boot from it. All the other files will be ftp'ed automagically. BTW, do NOT ftp the "secure" distribution from a server inside the US there if you're not in the US! : Second, can you say install FreeBSD on one drive and leave say Win95 on : another and switch boot between them? Yes. Hope this helps. -- Martin Butkus >>> Live long and prosper. <<< Phone/Fax: +49.5331.298710 Am Stadtwege 10, 38304 Wolfenbuettel, Germany M.Butkus@tu-bs.de
