What do you recommend? Make the kerl.flp and the msfroot.flp disks. That is, only if you don't know how to mount the CD or use DD (to make floppies). Take 15 minutes and install your cd drive in the P100. Boot with the floppies and 30 minutes later every thing will be installed. > format and the making of a totally > UNIX system, the clearing o disk space (is it worth it?) If I get it right, you still have a dos partition on that 800MB disk? And you use it to "help" you install FreeBSD. If so, remove it, it will be much easier. > or download > the new version of FreeBSD. If you have the a 2.x version, yes, but it will not help you install > Thanx for your help.
