(for > my old 486 that doesn't have a CDrom nor an internet connection) Go to the ftp site, ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/4.4-RELEASE/ And have a look in the bin/ or one of the other directories. Notice the size of all of files in there with names like, bin.aa, bin.ab, etc.? Put each one of those on a floppy. =) Also get the kern.flp and mfsroot.flp of course. Installing from floppies is a choice from the sysinstall(8) menus. Have fun. -- Crist J.
