By connecting to one of the FTP servers, I copied all files in 'bin' and 'manpages' into my system with the same directory name.Everything goes well until the time that the installation
program should read files from c:\freebsd\bin and install them into unix partition, but I get this
message: Couldn't extract the following distributions. This may be because they were not available on  the installation media you've chosen:  BIN.
By the way, I tried to find setup.exe in FTP server, but it seems that it doesn't exist.
I would highly appreciate it if you could help me install FreeBSD in my system.

sincerely,
