Description chesprit 2000-07-09 04:50:01 UTC 
I get no response at all from the installation CD, either booting directly into the CD-ROM or booting from the DOS environment. 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. Please help a newbie.

How-To-Repeat: ?

The CD kits come with an installation booklet.  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
