Hello, people, My old clunker 386 had enough value in its largw tower case that I've decided to upgrade it in parts, put on FreeBSD and probably the HURD, and use it as my sandbox system. Right now, the old system has SVR4 with a SLIP link to the net... and thus to freefall. But I had no idea how I can offload/download the 2.1.5 binaries and use by boot.flp to install the newest release.` Is there a way that I can store the tarballs on the ancient SVR4 system and install them <<somehow>>? The old box has i386/387, 16MB, 1079MB Fujitsu, Adaptec 1542c; Diamond Speedstar vcard with 1MB. No CDROM. The system was a home-brew. After a lot of thought I'm wondering if the best route would be to run of the 16 or 17 floppies from the CD on the newer box, then set up PPP and go from there. So...can anybody clue me in on which files I need to put onto floppies and load in? Thanks, y'all.... gary
