when i posted my first message, we were dog tired and so maybe i didn't leave enough info. trying to install fbsd 2.1.5 (i bought the cd and never used it) on a gateway 2000, 486dx2, western dig ide drive (520m) and 16m ram. during the install we loaded win95 just to test the hardware; all worked ok. we built the boot floppy. the box boots and we can go through all the disk partition stuff (novice mode, we come from at&t 3B world). when we commit to the install, it says its loading drivers, etc. to the hard drive. we then get a window talking about copying /documentation and it hangs with 1%. we see a burst of activity on the cd, a burst of activity on the hd, and that's it. we have tried different partion settings, with and without win95; the same result. anyone got any ideas? i rule out a hardware problem since win95 loads and runs fine. thanks, eddie
