Hi Brian, 2007/9/29, Brian Guest [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Dear [EMAIL PROTECTED] I would like to install freebsd 6.2 or 6.0 on my pentium three PC computer. At this moment my pentium three computer has XP installed on it i do not know which files from the freebsd website to download and write to a CDRW orCDR could you direct me to the wright files and walk me through the process of installing free bsd I think you may download the ISO files from here: ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/ISO-IMAGES/6.2/6.2-RELEASE-i386-disc1.iso When I was first installing freebsd a year ago I sticked to the excellent documentation: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/install.html I remember I repeated the installation 2-3 times because while installing I learnt what some of the options meant (coming from windows world I did not understand some of them).

You can find them on FreeBSD mirror sites; [http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/mirrors-ftp.html] If you don't have any experience, I would recommend that you 1) Read chapter 2 of the handbook; [http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/index.html] 2) Install FreeBSD on a virtual machine first, to practice. A nice free virtual machine is qemu [www.qemu.org]. You can download windows binaries from [http://www1.interq.or.jp/~t-takeda/qemu/]. 3) Install FreeBSD on your PC.

Select the distribution which you want -I'd suggest 6.2- and the CPU family which matches your machine -for you it is i386. Burn the ISO images to CD and you're ready to go. Also, this is a great source of information: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/index.html . In case you encounter errors or have questions, first consider reading the related section of the hand book, e.g. it has a complete chapter dedicated to installation: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/install.html HTH, Bahman ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

It is essential. It walks you through a complete install and some of the extras you will want. It is available free on the FreeBSD website. After you read that and try things, then, please ask more questions. jerry thank you brn_gst - Take the Internet to Go: Yahoo!Go puts the Internet in your pocket: mail, news, photos more. ___ 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]
