Hi there. I'm trying to install from a set of floppies I made of the bin directory. When I clicked on the files 'checksum.md5', 'install.sh', and 'bin.mtree', (at ftp://www.freebsd.org) they opened up in the browser directly, as text. So I chose 'save as file...' from the File menu in Internet Explorer, and saved them as text files, renamed them with the proper extensions... Is this correct? Also, I can't open bin.au - it gives me an error message saying that the sound file can't be played.... Now, I get through the installation process up to the Media menu and select 'install from floppies', at which point it prompts me to insert a floppy in a:. So I insert the floppy that contains checksum.md5 and bin.aa through bin.af, hit return, and get the following.... Message: Couldn't extract the following distributions. This may be because they were not available on the installation media you've chosen. bin doc manpages problibs dict info ports 100% What do I do??? : ( To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
