Cool. Any idea of how much space I will need to temporarily store the FTP site? Maybe I'll have to nuke my NT partition (which wouldn't be a bad thing) :-) Otherwise, I'm glad to see that you've sinked the FTP site and the CD - it will make it way easier to install freebsd over a local ftp connection to a cdrom in the future (I've had to do this many times in the past with machines that didn't have CDROMs).
