If you got the CDrom's You can also do start from the two floppies and use the cdrom as a source for the rest. You find the floppy images and a tool to make them(under DOS/Win) on the CD it self. -- Best regards, Alex The FreeBSD handbook http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/index.html How to get the best results from FreeBSD-Questions http://www.lemis.com/questions.html To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
