I am planning to install FreeBSD on my Pentium PC running WIN95 and I don't know where to start. I have a number of questions: 1) I was planning to download FreeBSD from your ftp site to our office server later on transfer it to floppy disks which I can bring home to my PC. When I went through the directories - I couldn't figure out how I would download the files and later on transfer it to floppy disks. I was thinking the files would be organized like DISK1, DISK2, DISK3 and so on. From what I have read so far in the installation guide - it only mentions downloading the boot image and the rest of the files will be downloaded as needed during the installation. My internet access is via the office but I plan to setup FreeBSD on my PC at home. Pls advise. 2) I am using netscape 2.0 for downloading. Is there a 'batch method' of downloading so I don't have to specify every file to be downloaded. I have minimal experience setting up things in a unix environment - that is why I am installing one at home so I could spend more time with unix. I hope my questions don't bore you guys. thanks a lot, luis
