Dear Sirs. I originally sent this letter to A. Klemm, but he asked me to send this through here, so here goes: On Mon, Jul 03, 2000 at 09:31:15PM +0800, Nicholas Lysaght wrote: > Hello There > > I am sorry to have to report that this is the second time I have tried to > install "apsfilter", and I think I'm making a bit of a meal of it. > > I am running FreeBSD V3.2 on a second primary partition, on a Pentium 200MMX, > 32MB RAM, Quantum 6.4GB HDD of which 1.8GB is dedicated to FreeBSD and a > Hewlett Packard DeskJet 694C printer.

Is there a possibility I have strewn data files and bits of programme around my HDD to the point where I will have to re-install the whole partition? Please bear with me. It's not through lack of trying.
