You don't even need to put it on a ftp-server, you can install from a subdir directly. E.g. the bin distribution is all the files in /pub/FreeBSD/2.2.5-RELEASE/bin I even have the files on a dos-disk, so they can also be accessed from my bbs. A direct bbs to pc download at full 64K speed ISDN is faster for my users than by any ISP... Leif Neland leifn@image.dk --- |Fidonet: Leif Neland 2:234/49 |Internet: leifn@image.dk
