I having some difficulty in installing 2.0.5 from a dos drive. I'm installing FBSD to a second partition on the drive, and so far, the only success that I've had is when I copy all of the files onto floppys and install from THEM. Takes forever. The fbsd files are in the directory /freebsd, as described in the instalation files, etc. I get an error simular to "Cannot find /bin/bin.aa" .. so i changed the directory name of the source files to "bin" .. of course it didnt work. Can someone help me out here? Should I just wait until 2.1 comes out on CD, and get that? -- __ __ __ /_/\ Peter Blackthorne /_/\ "Reality is just a collective hunch." /_/\ \_\/ pb@europa.com \_\/ http://www.europa.com/~pb \_\/
