That's why I always try to post my resolution to the listserve, newsgroup, or forum that was helping me out. I don't want someone to read along thinking yes, yesI have that problemhow did they solve it And the click on next message in thread in a vain attempt to find the answer that isn't there. That's happened to me more than I care to count. And it's so frustrating because I wonder if they figured it out and never told anyone or if they gave up. Of course, it's much worse for me to read, Oh, I figured it out and no explanation. I'd rather there be nothing than be left wondering what kind of magic the user conjured to solve his problem. - -- Eric Mesa [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.ericsbinaryworld.com Note: All emails from this address should have a GPG signature.

re: problems installing freeBSD 6.2 on older comptuer
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 As Chris Slothouber said, it's probably an issue with the floppies. My resolution was to remove the hard drive, place it into a machine I knew was capable of installing freeBSD and installing it. Am now in the process of putting it back into its original case to make sure it all worked ok. I'm a bit frustrated, but what can you do? It would be impossible for the freeBSD team to cater to all the corner cases. - -- Eric Mesa [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.ericsbinaryworld.com Note: All emails from this address should have a GPG signature.

Re: problems installing freeBSD 6.2 on older comptuer
I'm a bit frustrated, but what can you do? It would be impossible for the freeBSD team to cater to all the corner cases. You can move the HD as you did ;) Technically, if you really wanted, you could be the impossible FreeBSD team member who reaches into the corner you've needed catered to. That said, I'm sure it's widely known that Google usually solves all problems that are in the corner you've need catered to, but sometimes not the corner you are in. It's great you resolved it, and now it's archived. We've all been there. disclaimer I couldn't help but laugh at true realization/frustration when I read this post. /disclaimer ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
