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 Brent
