Hi, all you need is to download boot.flp and fixit.flp (just in case) from a /FreeBSD/floppies directory on any mirroring ftp site (e.g. ftp.freebsd.org) When you boot your computer with tat floppy, it will be able to download all it needs automatically, in case you are somehow connected to the Internet (ethernet, ppp dial-in, ...) If you are not directly connected, download the /bin, /manpages, /doc, and /ports directories, put thm somewhere the install can see it (a DOS partition) and install from there. In order to get XFree86 and a lot of other things, you will have to manually go to the ports tree and fetch things. Info on getting the CD is at http://www.cdrom.com On 23-May-97 at 17:58:05 Karl Gamble wrote: >Hi > > >What is the best way of download FreeBSD > >onto a WIN95 machine to install > >Is there a set of files needed, or is it a matter of getting the cd > > >Many thanks > >Karl Gamble >Tech Manger cu Jo --------------------------------------------------------------------- FreeBSD - top breeders recommend it <http://www.freebsd.org>; Joachim Kuebart <joa@delos.lf.net> Tel: +49 711 653706 <joa@stuttgart.netsurf.de> Germany <joki@kuebart.stuttgart.netsurf.de>
