I read the instruction carefully and used the 1.44mb floppy disk to boot my computer. Then it automatically detects my computer, well, sort of. Then it asked me to choose which partition to use for the BSD to reside in; however, I really don't know how to choose and which one to choose. And next I had to spare up space for the file system and the swap file, but it said I had to mount something. How the hell am I able to decipher that? So I was stuck there and after reading the instruction several times, I still didin't know how to install it. Can somebody please give me a hand by leading me step by step to finally set it up? Thanks Jeffrey
