Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hello, I am wondering how to use the sources for the FreeBSD stable version available online. Is it possible for me to download the sources onto a computer with a different operating system (e.g. Mac or Windows) and burn it on to CDs in the ISO-9660 filesystem and then use them to install FreeBSD stable on an i38x computer? My challenge is that I'd like to install FreeBSD on a computer that has very limited internet connectivity (a 56k modem). I do have access to high speed connections and the ability to burn CDs (i.e. a university computer lab), but the computers are Win and Mac. Thus the maze-like question.
