For a minimal install, you need <release-dir>/bin/*, where <release-dir> is the directory on the FTP site where the release lives, eg ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/2.2.2-RELEASE (or whatever...). You can download any other directories you see fit. A pretty complete system can be built with: bin des dict doc games info manpages ports and if you have space src but at least get src/ssys.* so you can build a kernel optimized to your system. -john
