Using mfsBSD I install a 8.2-STABLE custom system in under 5 sec= onds. That's pretty neat :). > OK, I tried mfsbsd.

Alas, it refuses.. It can't find th= e (needed!) 8.2-RELEASE.???tgz file It does not exist. There is only a direc= tory 8.2-RELEASE (on DVD as well as on CDROM ).

Follow the procedure I really need to finish someday, here: http://my.gd/bsd.htm (or html ?)=
