Hi There,

I am very interested in installing the latest version of 
FreeBSD, since I am most likely to start running a 
non-commercial web server.

But I have a couple of questions, which I hope that you guys 
can answer ..

I am going to download the installation files via FTP, and then 
install the system from an ms-dos partition - but I am unsure 
of which directory I should download, because I noticed that if 
I download the entire 2.1.17-RELEASE directory I would get the 
same files several times?

So which dirs should I download for a complete installation 
from an ms-dos based partition?

And the latest version is 2.1.17, right? I am not interested in 
beta-code.

I have some experience with Linux (mostly slackware 
distributions), so I hope that the step to FreeBSD isn't that 
big - and the FreeBSD distribution comes with complete XFree86, 
right?

I know that I could probably find answers for most of these 
questions in the several readme-files, but unfortunetaly I 
don't really have the time here at work. So ..


Thanks in advance,

Lars
