Message-ID: <shamrock-1403951926120001@192.0.2.1> Sender: shamrock@netcom20.netcom.com Organization: NETCOM On-line Communication Services (408 261-4700 guest) Date: Wed, 15 Mar 1995 03:26:12 GMT Lines: 19 After installing the bindist, I attempted to install the manpages. I used /sbin/sysinstall as per the faq. The only two options that related to what I wanted to do were "full install" and "fix-it" mode. Since I didn't want to go through another full install, I chose fix-it mode. This got me back to the diskpartioning screen. I don't want to do any partioning. How do I get back to the menu that asks me what packages (bindist, manpages, game, etc) I want to install without having to go through a complete reinstall of FreeBSD? (I ended up doing this for the manpages, but I don't want to have to do this for all future installs). Another question: I run DOS on a 100MB partion, but both chkdsk and dir show that DOS thinks that its c: drive has the full 1GB available. Everything seems to work fine, I can boot either DOS or UNIX without a problem, but I find that suspicious. How can I find out how much free space there is really left on the DOS partition?
