So far i've tried all sorts of variations of directory structures for the source of the installation (including the suggested *correct* structure) ; ie. copying all files to c:\Freebsd\ , c:\bin, copying the *.inf files all over the place so the installation can find them, etc. Why exactly does the FreeBSD installation have a problem with finding the source for the installation? Has anyone else run into problems like this? *thanks* -Brian To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
