First, I would like to say thank you to all involved in the FreeBSD project. I think it is a wonderful means for learning. And learning is why I'm writing. I'll cut to the chase and I'm sorry for bugging you. I am installing from floppies (ok, so I'm taking the hard way) and I installed the /bin and /man files, how would I later install the /src binaries from a DOS floppy. I read something about the build is organized so that one can install other parts of the system (except for the src files) from an NFS mount. I would hate to have to re-install again. It seems, by reading the literature, that I can make or build the binaries....or are they already compiled and all I have to do is install. If there are no specific references to this could at least direct me to the correct commands I can wade through them and try to figure it out, but specific instructions would be great because I'm new to using UNIX/BSD from the administrator side. BTW I am using 2.1.0 not the new 2.1.5. Thank you in advance for any help that you can send my way and again for a great operating system. I'm sorry to have been a pest, I'll go out and try to find one of the basic books listed in the faq. P.S. the tutorial section is a great idea on the web. Thank you, John Moore
