Hi there:
New FreeBSD 3.0-980107-SNAP user.
System: AMD DX4-100, 28M RAM ,265K cache and 1.2G Hard drive

I do not have a reliable ISP connection, my ISP is slow and keep 
cutting off my connection from time to time.

I can ftp individual "Packages" collection ( e.g. apache1.3b3.tgz ) 
from the Freebsd site.

Is there a way for me to manually install each .tgz file?
