Endsley" Subject: distribution directory II Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I don't know who to address this to, so.... Isn't there some way to make "view/setup.exe" from the CD's to load/transfer the distribution files from dos just like during initial installation (via ftp)? Perhaps very few users are affected, but for me, buying 2 disks makes no sense (cents??). I love FreeBSD, but if I have to d/l via ftp.....? This is not in anger/frustation! Just don't understand why it works for the binaries and nothing else. For some odd reason, I couldn't even get the source code from the CD/dos during installation (Yes, it was on my HD). Thanks, Mike
