The installation from the two floppies will automatically download the files it needs to do... it's called an FTP install and is how I do all my machines. You just need to make sure you either have a network connection or a non-winmodem to do so...

So, I read the installation online help guide.. but cannot find out what files I need to download from the FTP sites. I know how to get to the FTP sites.... but what do I download? I mean, if I install off two floppies, will the setup download them for me? I doubt it, but I have no way of knowing for sure as I cannot find any info about this in the installation guide. And.. installing from MS-DOS.. does that mean ye olde MS-DOS and not Windows 9x? > > Thank you! > > Mike > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
