> > Hey I Decided To Get your Unix Based OS Because I need More of a Challeng > I Do Have Two Questions, First Can I install FreeBSD without using Partition > magic Yes. But, it depends on how you want to do the install. IF FreeBSD will be the only operating system on that particular machine, then you only need one FreeBSd slice. Note that Partition Magic and any other Microsloth based thing uses the word 'partition' to mean what in the BSD UNIX world is called a 'slice'. So, Partition Magic should rightly be called 'Slice Magic'. > Second My Floppy A 3 and 1/2 Does Not work can I right the Floppy Image On > to an CD rom It is time for you to read much more of the FreeBSd documentation before you get started. If you had read even enough to do the most simple install, you would already know the answer to this question. So, go to the FreeBSD web site: http://www.freebsd.org/ and start going through especially the FreeBSd installation portions of the handbook and possibly other documentation and howto-s you can find linked there and by doing Google searches, etc. Anyway, short answer, you download the CD ISO image and use that to do the install from a CD. But, get to reading. There is a lot to learn - a good challenge. ////jerry
