> I already try that way and it didn't works. Please be more specific when describing your problem. What did you do, and how did it fail (error messages etc) Once the CD is mounted, ftpd shouldn't be able to distinguish it from any other read-only filesystem. I suggest that you create an FTP user, and make a symbolic link to the CD: cd ~ftp ln -s /cdrom 3.2-RELEASE (substituting the appropriate ftp user, cd-rom mount point, and release) I haven't tried this, and it would be inconvienient for me to do so right now, but I expect it would work. I would be interested in discussing any difficulties you ran into trying this. My best guess is that it would work fine. > There are any different FreeBSD source between FTP and CD-ROM? Most people ftp from writable filesystems, but this shouldn't be causing you troubles. I suspect the problem is pathnames: The installation expects the files to be in a directory named after the release you are installing. For example "3.2-RELEASE". $ ls 3.2-RELEASE XF86333 compat20 dict info tools bin compat21 doc manpages catpages compat22 floppies proflibs compat1x des games src The CDs don't have this organization, the root directory contains the contents of 3.2-RELEASE.
