I have searched through the FAQ and the = FreeBSD=20 handbook but nowhere have I found how to make my own installation = CD=20 - only talk about Walnut Creek cds. I have burnt a couple of cds = now but=20 the installation cannot find my bin... directories.

Question: What do I name the = directory where I=20 put all the directories and files I've downloaded in order for the = installation=20 program (kern.flp+mfsroot.flp) to find them?

I have managed to install FreeBSD from = a dos=20 partition as per errata.txt I have put the directories in a = c:\releases=20 folder. I do not want to waste any more cds trying to get it=20 right!

In the Handbook I found only the = directories=20 recommended for download and

how I make the floppies to boot the = installation +=20 hints about the Walnut Creek CDs.

I'm sure the answer is out there, but = I'm anxious=20 to get the FreeBSD up and running. Thanks=20 and regards (I have downloaded the 3.1-Stable)
