I am attempting to use Free BSD on a pentium pc.

I have however come up with a problem at the very earliest point!

I can not fit the Boot disk image from your FTP site onto a floppy disk.

I have Formated 4 brands of floppy disk on two different computers using windows 95 and NT4 and Dos.

The format only appears to free 1.38 mb and not the full 1.44mb required.

I am sure I am missing something obviouse but I can not find it!!

I would greatly appreciate any suggestions as I am keen to run a Unix web server. I am currenlty running a web,mail,and proxy server using the Microsoft solution with the usuall overheads.


Thanks John.
