I can get through all the configeration steps but when it tryes to accually copy the files over it returns the following error ... Write failure on transfer! (wrote -1 bytes of 1024 bytes) Unable to transfer the bin distribution from wd0s1 I have all the bin files in the directory C:\FreeBSD\Bin. I am also running Win95. Any ideas as to what could be wrong?? Thanks in advance for any help you supply. Mike Grove MJPG
