Subject: Coping Files From MS-DOS to a BSD Partitian?

I am wondering if anyone could help me with this as I am quite new BSD
and UNIX....but learning.

I have an unsupported CD-ROM Drive.

I would like to install some of the programs in the Packages
Distribution.

The only choice I have to install from as a source is a DOS Partitian or 
from alot of floppies.

I think it might intail the mounting of the MS-DOS partitian on the same
drive.
Do I need to mount the partitian to do this and if so how?

Any help would be greatly appriciated and passed on to those who ask.

Sincerly,
Rich Linane
