Dear Sir:
I am a novice who is trying to install FreeBSD 2.2.7 release on my PC.
I've installed
MS Windows98 in one FAT32 partition. Following is a list of my
hardwares:
CPU Pentium II-400 MHz
RAM 128 MB
Mainboard ASUS PII-B
Harddisk: IBM IDE 7200 rpm 10.1 GB
SCSI controller: Adaptec AHA-2940 UW PCI
Display Card: Matrox Millennium G200 AGP
Sound Card: Creative Ensoniq Audio PCI
CDROM: TEAC 32X SCSI
Network Card: DLink DFE-530TX PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter
Questions:
1. I am just wondering if these configurations supported by FreeBSD. If
not, what am I
gonna do to install FreeBSD properly and correctly?
2. When I first tried to install FreeBSD, after detecting hardware
configurations, the
installation program showed that "Syscon" and "PS/2 Mouse" ports
conflict to
each other. What to do to get rid of this confliction? (I don't want
to oprate X
windows without a mouse.)
3. In my IBM 10.1 GB harddisk, I fdisked two partitions, each takes 50%
of the
harddisk space. The "C:" partition already has Win98 installed, and
I want to have
FreeBSD installed in the "D:" partition. However, when it came to
the stage to create
a FreeBSD slice, I found the maximum storage space all FreeBSD
slices take up is
only a little more than 3 GB! This means I have to lose another 2 GB
unused! What
happened?
I would really appreciate if you could kindly help me to sort out all
these problems. I
really want to try FreeBSD. Thank you very much!
Best regards,
Daniel
