Here is the response of today: 1. Whatever you download must go into a directory called FREEBSD on your C: drive (C:\FREEBSD) 2. Did you fdimage the boot.flp file onto a blank 1.44 floppy? 3. Did you boot with that floppy? 4. Which directories did you download (just dirs not files) 5. What is the exact message you are getting. If the screen you are looking at does not give you enough info you can press Ctl-F2 (Control+Function Key 2) and that will switch you to screen number two which should hopefully have some more useful info. By the way you can hit Ctl-F1 to get back to the first screen. Rudy. P.S. BTW you can answer these whenever ! :-) :-) ---"David B.
