I'm in the processing of downloading all of the Free BSD files from Walnut 
Creek.  The question I have that wasn't clearly answered in the install 
notes is: would I copy all of the tar files to a DOS partition and then the 
install program (from floppy) would un-tar and load from there?  SInce I'm 
not using the CD-ROM version, that'd be the only way I can see that all of 
the files would be available to the install program.

Is this correct?  I know the install notes say that one you've started the 
install it'll have instructions for a non-CD based install, but I'd really 
like to know ahead of time what I should do with all of those files.

Thanks.
