I can't quite understand, what the problem is in your case. To do an FTP install you need to download two files (floppy images) from "floppies" subdirectory. Then you need to write those images onto floppies, and boot with them. If you are saying that you *can* download via ftp, then just fetch those two files. The installation program will then take care of downloading all other files, whatever files are necessary. The installation instructions at freebsd.org explain in detail how this can be done. -- Arcady Genkin http://wgaf.dyndns.org "'What good is my pity?
