I'm about to pull out my hair. I've tried to install 5 different versions of Linux from three different companies on my machine. I know you can't help me with that, but I've also tried to install 2 different versions of FreeBSD, 2.1.5 and 2.2.5. I've tried all 7 versions multiple times each. Varying the parameters each time. None of which installed completely. They all lock-up partially through the installation process. The FreeBSD versions both lock-up during the ports part of the installation. Generally after about 3 to 5 minutes through. The funny thing is, that I had installed 2.2.5 a while back, but I had the same problems. One time it didn't lock up until the end, so I had installed enough of the OS to boot it and configure. I have a 486 DX4-100 with a 3.2GB and a 1.2GB drive. I also have a Goldstar 16X cdrom. All of these items are detected when the setup is loading from floppy. Do you have any advice? What is going on? David Alder
