If it is fialing at the install process and looking for the tar file, you
can tar xvf manually the file or you can do this

Rename tar file fp30.bsdi3.tar.Z to fp30.freebsd.tar.Z

Edit line 75 is fp_install.sh
add 
 FreeBSD*)         machine="freebsd" ;;

Then when it does it's uname to get the OS type, it will work in the install.

I have never had to move the conf files for apache..

For some reason, I have also had to run the patched version of httpd.. but
other than that, they work fine...

I am in the same boat.. would rather not have them.. but also have to
listent o the demands of the consumer.  Hence... a couple of boxes with FP
extensions loaded on them.

Good luck
Adam
