Message-ID: <1994Jul13.124843.28047@btcs.bt.co.uk> Organization: Syntegra, Brighton, UK Date: Wed, 13 Jul 1994 12:48:43 GMT Lines: 16 Hi, I am considering installing FreeBSD or NetBSD onto my 486, but I don't want to be bothered with floppies. Can anyone tell me which CD-ROM interfaces are supported in FreeBSD/NetBSD (I currently have 2 IDE drives so I will likely just buy a cheap CD-ROM drive with it's own proprietary 8-bit SCSI interface). Also can anyone tell me what CD-ROMs are available that contain the binaries, source, goodies of FreeBSD/NetBSD; I've seen the mention of BSDisc, are their any others (and what about availability in the UK) ? Thanks in advance. -- Andy Duplain, Syntegra, Brighton, UK. duplain@rtf.bt.co.uk #define DISCLAIMER "My views and opinions are my own, and not my company's"
