hello, i go through the install, setting up the partition, and then i go to select my distribution. since i got it off the net, i only have the files in the Bin directory, so i go to custom install, and select only the bin. then it prompts me to insert the first floppy. i do, and then it tells me it can't find the files from 'bin'. i've formatted this floppy, and then (as per the directions) created a dir. called 'bin' and copied bin.aa through bin.ae onto the floppy in the subdir 'bin'. i've also tried it putting the files into the root of the floppy, and even tried creating a FAT16 partition on my drive (i run win98 w/fat32) with the subdir c:\freebsd\bin on it, and telling the install program to look there. all to no avail. thanks in advance for your help, jake ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
