>Description:
I want BSD on my 486 (no cdrom). The files from site (www.freebsd.orf/handbook/install-guide.html)are to large for floppys (it's not supposedly, but I keep geting 1.38M floppies even though they say 1.44) Do you have any suggestions on how i can get bsd on the computer?

State-Changed-When: Sat Jun 10 11:48:58 PDT 2000 
State-Changed-Why:  
You have to write the files to the floppy in "raw mode". 

I belive there is a misc or utils directory with a "rawrite" program 
which will do this for you from MSDOS.
