Thank you. > > Brian D. Woodruff > Brian - It's not quite clear what you're looking for when you say "web archive" - but I think you might find what you're looking for at http://www.freebsd.org However, when you get "bad format" errors; can you be more specific... exactly when did this happen? On booting the floppy, or after a succesful installation? Can you describe the hardware? (You mention it is a new system....) Perhaps with some information in-hand, someone will recognize the problem, and you'll not have to spend too much more time on it... - Dave Rivers - To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
