My computer is a Pentium 166 with 430TX chipset, 16MB RAM, Seagate 1.7GB IDE HDD, Mitsubishi 16x CD-ROM, S3 PCI video card, Optimedia 16-bit sound card and SN3200 PCI ethernet card. Unfortunately I don't get very far: I get an error message over and over Error: D:0x0 C:6 H:0 S:16 Since I'm a Macintosh user I am absolutely without a clue about what's going on. Any help would be sincerely appreciated. Regards, Terry. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
