Reply-To: saslcl@software-ag.de X-Confirm-Reading-To: saslcl@software-ag.de X-Pmrqc: 1 Priority: normal X-Mailer: Pegasus Mail for Windows (v2.01) Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I am planning to install FreeBSD on my Pentium PC running WIN95 at home. Being a a total idiot at unix - I have a number of questions: 1) Is it possible to download the files from your FTP site to our office server and later on copy the files on floppies? I have read the installation guide and it mentions downloading the boot floppy and the rest of the files will be downloaded during the installation. My free internet access is in the office. It would cost me a lot if I were to download files directly during installation when I do it at home. I have also been to FreeBSD ftp site and I thought it would be organized like DISK1 DISK2 DISK3 and so on. 2) I am using netscape 2.0 browser to download the files. Is there a way to specify a whole directory structure for download instead of specify the name of each file? I hope my questions don't bore you guys. I would like to spend more time on unix that's why I'm doing this. Thanks a lot. Luis
