When I tried to ftp from the install floppy it tells me that it can't find the files. How should I set up the file structure on my FreeBSD machine....I tried linking the /cdrom/dists directory into the ftp directory as 2.1.5-RELEASE but this didn't make it! Is there anything special I need to do to allow anonymous ftp to the cd drive? TIA John Scharles
