I have (had) windows 95 on my disk. I partitioned the disk drive using partition magic anyway I ended up removing the file allocation table FAT, so i couldn't read windows 95 partition. I then proceeded to format it and decided just to install freebsd on its own. I got through the entire process including making file systems /usr /var and so on. When I had selected all the packages I wanted I went to install it. For some reason then it just hanged at the first file, xzoom.tgz i think. message at the bottom read xzoom.tgz read successful opening pack (001) something close to that. And the hard disk light was on all the time while it hanged which was for about 10 minutes. Could there be something wrong with the CD. I bought it from Micro Mail in Cork Ireland. Can you please help. Thanks. I currently have absolutely nothing left on my machine.
