Okey, I will download those directories then.

Yes, that was what I meant.

I was unable to find that directory on the funet.fi mirror site
that I use - but it was on the freebsd ftp server, so I'll get

Okey, so I should completely forget my knowledge about Linux
during the installation? ;)
Anyway, it is great to see that one get support on a free
