Dear FreeBSD
I really like your OS and I want to install it on a really old Toshiba 
Notebook (lap-Top). It has a 4GB HDD and 64 or 32 MB RAM; Pentium II; 
and I don't know the other specs. While reading the installation manual 
I got confused. Is there a faster way for configuring all the stuff, 
without all of the questions; or an automatic Mouse, screen, keyboard, 
Ethernet configuration. On that Toshiba notebook I have installed 
Windows '98 and I hate it so I want a Unix/Linux type of system. A 
friend of mine recommended FreeBSD and I want it. Can you please supply 
me with a simpler installation guide. I am so worried that I won't make 
it trough the installation -- or later on I won't gonna be able to load 
the OS. I want FreeBSD to take the whole disk, so I hope that I won't 
gonna have to make all those partitions ( Right? ), I hope that FreeBSD 
will do that for me. Oh, and will FreeBSD fit in a normal 800MB CD? And 
I'm unsure how to start the Installation process? I need HELP NOW !!!

Thank you
