Ok working on the FTP install now since that seems to be the general consesus. Looking for those boot disks now. Can't seem to find them on the freeBSD.org site. Pardon me for my ignorance... Im from the Windows environment and I am trying to incorporate some Unix distributed applications to my organization. I am just plain used to there being some image to click on called "Boot disk" and Im unsure of the terms for it in the Unix platform.... Ben PS Thanks to everyone who has helped. Im actually stating to think that it isnt a hopeless idea. :) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Annelise Anderson" <andrsn@andrsn.stanford.edu> To: "Ben Turner" <turnball_@hotmail.com> Cc: <freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG> Sent: Monday, October 01, 2001 11:22 AM Subject: Re: Installing FreeBSD 2.2.4 > On Mon, 1 Oct 2001, Ben Turner wrote: > > > Yea I figured out that it was an extremely old version after I had gotten > > the disks to finally boot up.
