From your favorite FreeBSD mirror site, ftp download all the files from `./bin' to some convenient location on you local drive. # mkdir /usr/altroot # setenv DESTDIR /usr/altroot (or for bourne'ish shells) # DESTDIR=/usr/altroot ; export DESTDIR # ./install.sh The shell reports the target directory before prompting you to continue. Ensure it's correct, then accept it. You'll find your `/usr/sbin/* files in `/usr/altroot/usr/sbin' .cr To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
