http://uranus.it.swin.edu.au/~jn/linux/ and specifically: http://uranus.it.swin.edu.au/~jn/linux/rawwrite.htm these are all windows programs that take away the frustration of installing linux. however freebsd and any os follows the same concept when it comes to boot disks (.img) - so give rawwrite a try. if you really want to do it "unix style" via dd he has a windows copy of dd on there: http://uranus.it.swin.edu.au/~jn/linux/rawwrite/dd.htm Let me know if you need any help making the fixit disk via any of the utilities i just mentioned. -Ben Robert Fitzpatrick wrote: >On Sat, 2005-09-03 at 13:31 -0500, Kevin Kinsey wrote: > > >>What resources do you have? >> >> >Don't have another FreeBSD machine at this location.
