[-- Attachment #1 --] It's possible that I'm missing something as it's 3am and I'm tired, but I think your site lacks a great deal of installation information. I've just come from using Linux and wanted to try BSD. I went to freebsd.org I took the "Getting BSD" link and ended up at http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/install.html I don't have a BSD distribution on CD so as this page suggests I took the link leading to ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/3.1-RELEASE/floppies/README.TXT I load this page to find that it only explains CD and network installs. I then find the link about installing from MSDOS, at the bottom of the page. It in turn leads me to http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/handbook15.html#15 This page presumes I have a BSD CD, and know what's in it's /bin directory. Are there any instructions for installing BSD from a msdos partition that don't require me to have a CD?
