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
