This is an okay description for the CD-ROM people, but not so great for FTP installs. The docs now point you to a README which also doesn't give you a clear description of where the floppy images are. I don't think it's that hard to find them, but I've done X number of FTP installs (where X is some number > 15 now) and know what to look for. To grab the floppies go to: ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/3.3-RELEASE/floppies/ and grab the kern.flp and mfsroot.flp, then continue to follow the instructions given above. I guess I should stop complaining about the docs and submit a change so I don't have to keep giving this answer. :-) > Thank You, | http://students.washington.edu/jcwells ^ Don't you need a "/" here? | :-) Brett ***************************************************** Dr. Brett Taylor brett@peloton.runet.edu * Dept of Chem and Physics * Curie 39A (540) 831-6147 * Dept. of Mathematics and Statistics * Walker 234 (540) 831-5410 * ***************************************************** To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
