I want to download the Free BSD operating system to my PC. I want to make a set of floppies for later installation and I'm not sure how to do this. The floppies directory want to make disk images. How do I get these to my floppies, simply copy them, or is there a utility I need to put these images on a diskette. Alternatively, do I simply copy all the files in the BIN directory. If so, which of these files go on whicih disk and what program to I need to run to install them. I have a passing familiariy with UNIX from several years ago. I've been in a pure DOS/Windows environment form about 6 yeras now, so please be gently with me and let me know EXACTLY what I need to do in order to get these files set up correctly for a diekette installation. Thank you in advance for your assistance. John Friel Network Manager Boston Acoustics 300 Jubilee Dr Peabody, Ma 01960 phn - 508.538.5137 email - jfriel3@usa1.com
