Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk ...and therefore no FIPS re-partion of existing DOS HD, no select-boot-partition-manager, no rawrite=no boot floppy from image, and therefore no FreeBSD INSTALL! I was partly through d/l'ing the 2.1.6 install, that I began a couple of weeks ago and would now like to finish, however those directories no longer have any contents either. I'm short the ports, packages, and XFree86 stuff. (No, I don't have a cdrom drive, or I wouldn't be downloading it) If I have to start over and d/l all of 2.2 now, then ok, I can do that; but I would really appreciate renewed access to the boot managers, ide_config, etc. goodies that could make life much more enjoyable preceeding the actual install. Being able to create the boot floppy would be a good start. (Supplying the Handbook & FAQ's as simple ascii text in addition to 'latin', which is relatively unreadable by SuperPad, would also be nice, if it's at all a good day to ask....) please help/fix. TNX, Looking forward to trying FreeBSD, not destroying my HD through an incomplete install, Gene Randall
