Please forward to someone, if you are busy! Date: Sat, 8 Nov 1997 19:26:50 +0200 Message-ID: <01bcec6b$7fefa980$0100007f@localhost> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Priority: 3 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 4.71.1712.3 X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V4.71.1712.3 Dear Sir, At first let me notice, that you may forward this message to someone less busy person than you, who can also answer the question. Basically I want to make a CD-R from your FTP. How should I make the CD? Which directories I should choose (I want to make FULL FreeBSD install). Longer explanation: I am a system administrator in a ISP (MasterSoft in Estonia). I'm currently using NT 4 Server as a primary password verification server for Bay Networks ANNEX'es, and FreeBSD as a email-server and WWW-server (Apache). Now because I changed to FreeBSD (from MS Exchange) rather receantly I have very little experience with FreeBSD. I have used UNIX before (I have also a SUN UltraSPARC runnning Solaris), so I am not totally in the dark. But still I would need some rehearsing. I do NOT want to rehersal with server (obviosly), so I am going to use another computer in my home. Unfortunately my home Internet link is 33.6 modem... so installing over modem would be a bad idea. I also have (somewhere...) the CD's that came with Walnut Creek FreeBSD book, but I do not know where they are at the moment... And also I will get the latest version by downloading straight from the Internet. So to install latest FreeBSD I need to make installation CD-ROM's (I have CD writer, so theres no problem). I downloaded the full 2.2.5-RELEASE folder, but it was way beyond one CD (probably because of ports...). So how should I make the CD's: which folders on primary, which on next CD's? Sincirely, Risto Koiva sysop@master.ee
