I'm not sure if this has been mention, but in floppies, there is a readme (or some such file) explaining which are which. If you really feel like download FreeBSD, get the boot.flp and mfs.flp (I think that's what they're called) and do a minimum install (unless you are on a fast network connection) and then you can just install stuff later as need-be. Maybe you should also get the sources, so you can compile a custom kernel.. I can't think of anything else that you would NEED per se, to get your system at least up and running. ----- We are now the Knights who say... "Ekki-Ekki-Ekki-Ekki-PTANG! Zoom-Boing!
