From the following directory get kern.flp and mfsroot.flp ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/4.0-RELEASE/floppies/ load them onto floppies with ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/tools/fdimage.exe If the PC you want to install FreeBSD on has an internet connection (either a common nic on a LAN that connects to the internet or a modem and ISP account) you won't need to get any other floppy images but if you want to do it with floppies (or have some way of getting these files to an MSDOS partition on the machine you want to install FreeBSD on) - then you want all the files in ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/4.0-RELEASE/bin/ You might also consider these directories ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/4.0-RELEASE/manpages/ ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/4.0-RELEASE/catpages/ ... dict ... doc ... info ... src ... games ... Any directory that is a peer to ..../bin above and contains many files of the same name with extensions that start with .aa and go up from there (.ab .ac .ad .ae ... ) If you plan to install from a DOS partition you need to copy the .../bin directory mentioned above (and as many of it's siblings as you are interested in) to be subdirectories of a \FREEBSD directory. So in C:\FREEBSD\BIN you should have bin.aa bin.ab bin.ac . . . -----Original Message----- From: Andrew Pinkham <defcon@mail.com> To: questions@freebsd.org <questions@freebsd.org> Date: Sunday, April 09, 2000 4:09 PM Subject: Re: unix >I have been there, and I have read it over and over and over again >and it still doesn't make any sense at all to me, and I have been around >computers for a long time so I am not clueless about this stuff. > >______________________________________________ >FREE Personalized Email at Mail.com >Sign up at http://www.mail.com/?sr=signup > > > >To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org >with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
