Subject: flp wont load to floppies


1) either by copying to destop, then floppy,
or directly from FTP site,
the floppy disks does not have enough space for the
release 6.0 disks... boot, fixit, kern1. suggestions?

2) I'm using a IBM Thinkpad 600e 400mHz without much sucess.
Will FreeBSD install on this machine?


Are you attempting to prepare these floppies on a "Windows * " machine?
Are you following the directions in the handbook?

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/install-pre.html

Specifically, using "fdimage" to copy the .flp files to (floppy)disk?
