Yes, there are pages in the handbook that tell you how to do this. http://www.ssc.com/mirrors/LDP/HOWTO/mini/Linux+FreeBSD.html > > 2) Can i run a network installation? Sure! FreeBSD supports FTP and NFS installations. I've used both, and they work quite well. Since I don't always have access to install CDs, I use the FTP install a lot. Again, see the handbook off of freebsd.org for more on installation tasks.
