Did you download the ISO to make the installer? ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ISO-IMAGES-i386/ i'd suggest that you browse this first before you try the installation... http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/install.html with regards to the partitioning of the hard disk if you are kinda lazy to define the partitions just use the option that will make the fdisk set the auto-defaults but this is sometimes not a recommended option though. hope this helps... :) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ajax Munroe" <ajaxmunroe@hotmail.com> To: <freebsd-questions@freebsd.org> Sent: Monday, September 22, 2003 9:52 PM Subject: FreeBSD,Linux and any other os besides Microsoft. > Hello, > > I dont have a question but I would like to make a statement.
