I am installing from floppies right now (I know, its the real hard way but money is tight. I plan to purchase the cd in a few months). I have the images for booting and it works fine. To install the rest of the required packages this is how I understand to do it: copy all of the files needed for /bin (/bin/bin.aa & /bin/bin.ab)etc. to one floppy. As many as I can get on a floppy and do the same with all of the necessary bin files, is this correct? Then do the same with the other packages. Is this correct. I think I'm reading this correctly. What I want is the basic files needed to run FreeBSD right now including a few different shells and come C/C++ stuff. and If possible maybe KDE. PLEASE HELP. also coudl you cc this message to roane0616@aol.com, as well as the email address this is comeing from. Thanks a lot.
