Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hello. I've tried to download the installation files for floppies and I can't seem to get a straight-forward text on which files I need to download. Your layout text seems to insist that I get the CD. I don't think my CD-RW (Memorex CRW-1622) will work, anyway. Plus I don't wanna pay for the CD because I might not want to use it and that'd just be a waste of money. So far, I've gotten the idea that I should download the whole 'bin' directory so I did that. Is there a good text on the directory structure of the online disk (i'm downloading from ftp.cdrom.com). I would like to get X-Windows, but I don't even know where to start. I'm seeing about migrating from Windows NT, and I've never used any type of Unix before. Well, thank you for your time.
