Hi,

Installing FreeBSD from a ftp server is convenient!
Yes, sure it is! However, I have only a 28.8K leased line.
Life is too short to repeat this process for 10 times.

Is it possible to mirror only PART OF the 2.2.5-RELEASE directory 
and put them on my local ftp server, so I can install FreeBSD from 
my local ftp server?  To be specific, I would like to install 
Kernel Developer Set.

Could someone give pointers what sub-directories and how much disk
space is required?
 
Please do NOT tell me to buy a FreeBSD CD-ROM.

Thanks in advance!
