[setup] no floppies FreeBSD 8 ?

L

luca

hi,

I'm looking for the floppies images to install FreeBSD 8 on a PC which can't boot from CDROM ; but the images are not available (i.e. no floppies directory)

Do FreeBSD 8 dropped floppy install ?

A while ago the floppy images faced extinction, but as far as I know they haven't been officially dropped. I'm guessing 8.0 floppies will be generated when it goes RELEASE. (very soon now)

install on other computer

You can remove your hard drive and install freebsd on other system, where you have cd-rom or you can boot from usb stick.

Installation from USB stick is very nice in FreeBSD 8.0.

Or you can boot from LAN (if your network card supports that).
