hello, have you put the freebsd files to a server? well it is a lot easy even for beginners if you are installing it from a ftp server (it may be your 2 gig file server) then you should put it into a directory like 2.2.7-RELEASE also you may set the directory name from the installation utility in floppy, there it asks for release name ( I guess it is asking for which directory to look for : ) then you may point ftp to download from your server if freebsd is at ftp://ftp.yourserver.com/pub/FreeBSD/2.2.7-RELEASE then you should write ftp://ftp.yourserver.com/pub/FreeBSD/ to ftp server place. well, I do not know a lot about other installation methods because I usually use this and it is easy to have a ftp server for every OS even for NT! : ) by the way are you from microsoft or what? Windows 95/NT - 32 bit extensions and a graphical shell for a 16 bit patch to an 8 bit operating system originally coded for a 4 bit microprocessor, written by a 2 bit company that can't stand 1 bit of competition.
