HI

I'm trying to install FreeBSD from a DOS partition, i've FTP'd the bin and
floppies directory and placed them under c:\freebsd. I want a fair
selection of programs to get started with. I've downloaded the entire
packages2.1.5 directory structure and added it to
c:\freebsd\packages\........ Is this right. The installation procedure
can't find the packages, it does find the index file however. Should i be
using packages or ports and what directory structure should I put in place.
(i've read the install.txt and other files)

Any help would be very appreciated. :-)

Regards
