I attempted to do an installation from a=20 MS-DOS partition and thatb also failed. The softwae error message was that it couldnot swap to the swap space I created for it through Partition magic. Please if there is any help you van offer me I will sinserly appreciae it. I am almost at the end with FreeBSD. I have been trying for nearly a month. I had no troble with my Dell but the Hewlett Packard has been giving me trouble.. Thank you Andrew Hillard a.hilliar@worldnet.att.net
