Date: Tue, 06 Aug 1996 10:04:54 -0700 Organization: Compusult Limited, St. John's, NF, Canada Lines: 20 Message-ID: <32077B36.595@public.compusult.nf.ca> NNTP-Posting-Host: ts00-p08.remote.nfld.com Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Mailer: Mozilla 3.0b4 (Win16; I) Hi, I am new to FreeBSD and I would like to install WordPerfect on my system. I have read through the FAQ and some of the help available at www.freebsd.org but it seems that I am still missing a piece of the puzzle. I have installed v2.1 from CD and set up accounts and installed X11 and everything seems to work normally in native mode. Before trying to install WordPerfect for SCO I enabled the iBCS2=YES flag and rebooted the system. When it came up it gave me the message that this was enabled and there were no errors. Next I mounted the floppy drive and tried to read the install disk. At this point the system gives me an error message saying I have an invalid superblock on the floppy. Could someone pass along how this can be installed or where I can find an FAQ/README? Thanks, Trevor Johnson oceans@nfld.com
