I put the dists in the freebsd directory following this scheme : bin\*.* in C:\freebsd\bin\*.* doc\*.* in C:\freebsd\doc\*.* etc..... Then I prepared a freebsd installation boot disk following the handbook instructions. And I could install freebsd from C: without any problem . May I suggest you to download the src/sys files ? You may want to configure your own kernel sooner or later ( for instance the generic kernel that comes with the dists doesn't support soundcards ) bye MDG To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
