But I don't have a distribution CD. I want to download X-Windows distribution files first, and then install it from my HDD. Some days ago I downloaded some files from ftp.cdrom.com/pub/FreeBSD/2.2.5-RELEASE/ for install, and now I have (I don't understand why) XFree86 directory with some files. When I trying to install it (run doinstall.sh and postinstall.sh /sorry, forgot the real filenames/ ) is writes me: Directory /usr/X11R6 doesn't exist. Please, check the ftp.cdrom.com and answer me, which files in which directories I need to download for run X-Windows.
