I have installed off of a DOS partition, and one of the things that I discovered is that the CD directories and files need to be at the root of the partition in order for the installation to work. You cannot put them in a sub-directory, there is no option to install from a sub-directory on a DOS partition that I have seen. This might make a bit of a mess if you already have Windows installed on the partition. > My question is what files should I copy from the CD onto my > hard drive to get FreeBSD on my machine so > I can use FreeBSD with X and most of programs > a clueless newbie like myself would need to learn? When I did it, I just put all of Disk1 on the DOS partition, and that pretty much made it easy to install most anything I wanted. Damien Tougas.
