So which iso i have to download and then i only need to burn that iso on CD and i can start installation and no other extra thing i have to do. Any suggestion? Depends on just what you need to do. But, in general, burn disc-1.You can install from that including some of the more common ports or use that CD to install over the net. DIsc-1 also has the fixit shell. You need disc-2 only if you want to install ports that are not on disc-1. The boot-only disc will allow you to install only over the net. jerry Regards, Zeeshan ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

If all you want to do is install the minimal install of FreeBSD, then disc1 will do the job. If you want to install extra stuff (like X, bash, sudo, etc.) you will probably need disc2 as well. Or you can use disc1 to install FreeBSD minimal, then run sysinstall afterwards and get everything else you need directly off the internet. -- Paul Schmehl ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Senior Information Security Analyst The University of Texas at Dallas http://www.utdallas.edu/ir/security/ ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

My problem The m/c boots uncompressing the kernel and takes me thru the menu. While choosing the installation Media I get the message No CD/DVD devices found while searching on the web I found one mail which mentioned problems with FreeBSD and ATA, ATAPI. The workaround provided was where in has to set hw.ata.ata_dma=1 set hw.ata.atapi_dma=1 but still I could not choose the CD as the installation media? Need help in getting around this problem 4.9 will probably work better for you. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
