I downloaded the boot.flp and fdimage.exe files from www.freebsd.org and
did a floppy boot and FTP network install of FreeBSD version 2.2.5.

The system is a Intel Pentium 200, 32 MB RAM, 2.5 GB disk, 4X CD-ROM,
3.5 floppy, and an SMC 8216C network card. The system installed correctly
and is up and running.

I used /stand/sysinstall to download Pine and other ports collections.
I cannot find the APACHE web server or the TIN newsreader using the
/stand/sysinstall in FreeBSD version 2.2.5.

On the www.freebsd.org website, it lists the above programs or ports
collections as available to download via the net using /stand/sysintall.

As a novice FreeBSD user, I am confused as to why some of the ports
collections download and others are not listed at all in the
/stand/sysinstall program, but are listed on the web site.

Any advice and/or help would be appreciated.
