Please ask these kind of questions in questions@freebsd.org next time =) I thought that bin and man were two of the most important ones as well as the kernel and other / stuff. Also /usr/bin and /usr/sbin were pretty needed. Ahh, better check this URL: http://www.freebsd.org/FAQ/FAQ25.html#25 Ye could put the files on the Mac and setup an ftp server and then ftp them from the Mac if ye have some UTP crosscable, or BNC and can get TCP/IP working on both systems. That would be a fast way.
