Hi, I have a few questions regarding instalation and opration. 1) I would like to install FreeBSD via FTP. The computer which I will be=20 installing it on, does not have an operating system installed. I was trying to go through the instructions found at=20 http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/install.html. However, the instructions=20 refer you to a bootable floppy, and then there are instructions on how to=20 make the bootable floopy from the CD-Rom. I downloaded ls-lR.gz from cdrom.com trying to figure out which files I=20 might need. I found the dos tools required to make the floopy but not the=20 files. can some one help me out with this matter? Which files I need to=20 create the bootables? I would like to install 2.2.8 stable since this is going to be a highend=20 server. 2) The server which will run FreeBSD, currently has 1 PentiumIII Xeon=20 500Mhz cpu with the capacity to grow up to 4 CPUs. If I add more CPUs in the future, will this have any implications on=20 FreeBSD? Or will just work naturally and recognize them both at start-up? 3) This server has 2 nine gig hard drives (raid 5 model). They are=20 hotswapable. I would like to have the 2 hard drives mirror each other at=20 all times. How can I acomplish this? I would imagine that once that is up=20 and running.. if I have to remove one of the hard drives I would have to a)= =20 stop the mirroring software b) unmount the drive and c) remove the drive.=20 Or can FreeBSD handle someone just pulling out the hard drive? Thank you for your time and feedback. Regards, Marcelo *********************************************** ICQ 22921676 MSM Interactive. Dario Urzua 1940, Providencia, Chile.
