You can: 1. Use your dos/windoze side to ftp the packages from ftp.freebsd.org, mount your DOS partition (using mount -t msdos /dev/wd0s1c /mnt, assuming your DOS disk is the first drive in the system) and copy the package to the UNIX side. /mnt is the root level of your C: drive. Or, you can copy the package to a formatted floppy, mount it using mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /mnt and copy from /mnt. Make sure you umount /mnt when you're done! Hope this helps.
