I'm beginning = to think that there must be a hardware problem. My system is as = follows: =20 Dell Dimension XPS B866MHZ Pentium III, QuietKey Keyboard, Microsoft = Intellimouse, 256MB RDRAM, 3COM V.90 PCI Telephony Modem, 48x Max = Variable CD ROM, Dell P991 Trinitron Monitor, 32MB DDR nVidia GeForce2 = GTS 4X APG Graphics Card, 80GB Ultra ATA Hard Drive (5400RPM),3COM = 3C905C-TXM 10/100 Remote Wakeup Network Card. I can't access the Eratta.Txt or Trouble.Txt, but I have read pretty = much everything else and have gone through the install about 20 times. = I can't think of any other varibles and am down to thinking that it must = be a hardware problem. I would appreciate any information or help with = this. I am trying to use the most standard, inclusive choices that are = available. Although I bought this release (4.1) only a month ago, I see = that 4.2 is now available. Since my hardware is pretty current, perhaps = the more recent release would be better at autodetecting. At htis point i am just grabbing at straws. thanks for your help - Patrick ------=_NextPart_000_000B_01C0A436.CAC262A0 Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META content=3D"text/html; charset=3Diso-8859-1" = http-equiv=3DContent-Type> <META content=3D"MSHTML 5.00.3019.2500" name=3DGENERATOR> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=3D#ffffff> <DIV><FONT size=3D2>I have tried all day to install FreeBSD with no = success. =20 I'm beginning to think that there must be a hardware problem.
