I'd like to install from DOS...so what's the filename? Look at the two docs called `INSTALL' and `README' in the 2.2-960612-SNAP directory at ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD, as instructed in the below quote. You'll find it easiest to download all the little files if you use ftp.freebsd.org's auto-tar-and-zipping facility. For example, to download the bin distribution, you'd follow this url ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/2.2-960612-SNAP/bin.tar.gz . Rename it to bin.tgz and put it in the appropriate directory (c:\freebsd\bin, I think--check INSTALL to be sure). You also need rawrite.exe, boot.flp, root.flp, and possibly fips.exe. You'll find all of those somewhere off of ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD. -- > > > On Tue, 18 Jun 1996, Christoph P.
