Hello, I'm trying to install bsd on my machine from a dos partition. I tried to do it using ftp but had trouble getting an ftp connection. So then I tried ftping from Windows and downloaded freeBSDcurrent to a directory called c:\freebsd as per the installation instructions (I don't have the CD to copy it from). When I try to do the install, it seems to mount the DOS partition (I've created the BSD partition OK) but it claims it can't find the bin files (or any other stuff I try to install besides a basic install). I then tried copying the contents of c:\freebsd\src\bin to c:\freebsd\bin, but that didn't help. I assume the problem is that I just don't have the right files in the right place but I'm not sure. Can you help? Thanks, Ian Moore To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
