Indeed, there is no "Install Exe" anywhere on the CD. There is Install.Txt. Is the "Install.Exe" hidden? I spent a whole weekend trying to make Freebsd work. Nothing doing.

Take a look at it. :-) If you've lost the booklet or you borrowed the CDROM from a friend or for some other reason don't have the booklet, there's also quite a lot of help available at http://www.freebsd.org/projects/newbies.html#fbsd Should you continue to have difficulties, please read this article: http://www.lemis.com/questions.html http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=19791 >Unformatted:
