Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I have tryed several times to download FreeBSD using the installation program's ftp facility but the connection always breaks. Since this ftp program does not pick up where it left off I am not getting very far. I am wanting to do a XUser installation by FTPing the neccessary files to my PC in peices and then installing from the DOS partition. What files do I need to download from your FTP site? I've also thought about doing a minimal install and then downloading the other components later but again I do not know what files I would need to equavilate an XUser installion. I am eventually going to want the development files too. Any information would be extremly helpful. Thanks, Charlie Benton
