	Okay I got Freebsd installed. I did it the hard way and downloaded 
the whole kit and kabottle from ftp.cdrom.com. Two hours later I had 
200 mbs worth of download material. I checked the distrubition twice 
and made sure I had everything.
	Well it loaded and boots quite nicely. I left out the net part until 
I can find out how to properly configure it.
	One questions though. How do I install the packages from a Dos 
partition? I installed the ports and then went on to packages. I 
selected all the packages I wanted. When it started to install it 
gave me the message that it could not find them.
	My question is , how do I access the dos partition from within Free 
and then manually install the packages?

						any help is, natch, appreciated
