I am kinda new to this, not unix, but PC unix.  I hear the 386bsd is 
much better then Linux and would like to install it, but before I do
I would like to ask some questions.

1)  I have 2 hard drives.  A WD 210 meg IDE, and a Conner 120meg IDE.  The 
    installation notes do not explain how to install 386bsd on a D: drive.
    Or on a C: drive with a dos partision on D:.  Is there a way to do this?
    I really can't install it without doing the 2 drive thing.

2)  Is there any support out there for QIC-40 yet?

3)  Is there any support for COM ports above 2?  I have an internal modem on 
    com4 with the other 2 comm ports being used for a second modem and a 
    mouse.
  
4)  Is there anyplace I can send to, to get the full distribution without 
    having to down load it all?  That is a heck of alot of stuff to down 
    load at 14.4.

Thanx for all your help that will come, I hope. :)

P.S.  Has anyone here tried to install LPMud on 386bsd?  Just wondering,
      please no flames for this.
