Greetings'

Thank you, Doug for your help in getting the system up and running. But
now...

I am trying to get specific packages from FTP6 and install them. The
sysinstall utility does not seem to find anything (INDEX or lynx-2.FM) no
matter where I put them. (In the freebsd directory, packages, etc. -- all DOS
partition.)

Do you have a straightforward suggestion for getting specific files via ftp
through my DOS client and then installing them on the FreeBSD partition? I'm
especially interested in the HTML browser to aid in reading all the
documentation provided and now on the unix partition.

The other question is shutting down. I get error messages on boot that tell
me the last session was terminated without clean flags being set.
Suggestions?

I know this seems rudimentary, but until I can get to the manual pages and
FAQs and get read up (in the O'reilly & Assoc. books -- great suggestion,
thanks) I'm just too rusty to remember all this and really appreciate your
help.

Thanks, John
