Hi, AFAIK FreeBSD needs directories like "C:\BIN" to exist to install from another partition... Can you confirm that you've copied the distribution to the ROOT directory of your DOS drive? - And not hidden it under say "C:\FREEBSD\" or it's equivalent? Also, if you can - try not to post to this list in HTML format, as some people can't read it! :( Regards, Karl To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
