I want to install freebsd on my notebook and I'm planning to do this by making a c:/freebsd map on my windows98 partition and copying the files from the ftp site to that directory. However, there is one complain. I only can do this by using a ftp client which can pass through my firewall. Because of that, the files are copied as http request to my harddisk. All the maps on the ftp server I fetch one by one. My question is then, what to do with the packages map? Do I have to fetch all the packages or do I just simply copy the packages I want to have? But then, how about the structure of the ftp server which has to be the same on my harddisk. How do I put all the packages in the appropriate maps like games, databases, editors ...and more important...how do I build the ALL map? Hope someone can help me Brgds Dino __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Tax Center - File online, calculators, forms, and more http://tax.yahoo.com
