Hello, I want to install a small footprint of FreeBSD on an intel machine. I'm doing this to learn about UNIX. I downloaded the BIN, MANPAGES, FLOPPIES and the required TOOLS files. I believe that i'm ready to start the install process and have a few concerns about running fips and they are: 1) does fips create a second PRIMARY DOS partition? I want to run FreeBSD from this partition, do I use the fdisk utility supplied for dos or is the a fdisk program for UNIX? both are mentioned in the doc for fips. 2) the doc states that i need an ERRORS.TXT file for fips, If so where can i find it @ FreeBSD.org. It was not in the tools directory with the executable. 3) do I need to run a boot manager to actively boot into FeeBSD. I ask this question yesterday and some replied that the install process of FreeBSD will install one for you? Any help with fips be great. I'm just a little nervous to run it and not understand a little more about it.
