Greetings, Here is the situation: I got a notebook, broken floppy drive and no cdrom. HDD is 1.3GB with one big FAT partition with windows 95 on it. Now I need to still keep the 95 thing on it but make some room for 4.0 and install it. How do I do that? I could get a ether card in it and copy the FreeBSD distr. in a folder. But to actualy install it I need to somehow boot freebsd on it. Is there a way to launch the FreeBSD installer from withing DOS or a similar way? any suggestions greatly appreciated. slava To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
