Howdy Gary, You need to shrink your DOS (Windoze95) partition. I've used FIPS.EXE to shrink. Right now DOG/WINDOZE is hoging your whole harddrive. I would advise backing up your DOG partition before you try anything - whole drives have been known to be wiped out (although I personally never seen it). You should be able to locate at ftp.freebsd.org or you can use the linux version at sunsite.unc.edu. They both run from the dos prompt so you will have to boot up dos (I don't know if running a DOG session from Windoze95 will do it) - anybody have more experience here? Hope it helps Keith keithl@gil.net On Wed, 4 Dec 1996, Gary Fry wrote: > Dear whoever can answer, > I am having trouble installing FreeBSD v2.1.5 onto my computer!
