I have a copy of the 2.0.5 walnut creek cd.
My target machine is a pent 75 with a 2940 and a atapi cd-rom.
In the freebsd handbook it says to use the inst_ide.bat file to
install. My release does not have the file.  

Is there a reasonably easy bath to getting what I need to install or
should I just get a new cd with 2.1 ???

I have the server up and running with Red Hat 2.1 linux.
This server is going to go on line as ftp and mail server .
Some folks have suggested that freebsd is more stable and would be a
better choice. Any comments ???
