A practical minimum is bin and man. You'll also need the boot.flp and something to write the floppy image to a disk (rawrite.exe is what i've used). You can download and install more of the directories once FreeBSD is installed. Read the readme, release notes, and installation instructions in that directory. www.cdrom.com sells 4-CD sets of FreeBSD. --Ludwig Pummer ludwigp@bigfoot.com ICQ UIN: 692441 http://chipweb.home.ml.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
