To whom it may concern, my question is about the packages collection on the FreeBSD 2.1.6 release on CD-ROM. My quad speed is not presently supported by Freebsd. I would like to install some of the packages without having to copy the whole dir. (almost 400M) since I don't have that much free space. Is there a way to install just selected packages? If so, which files and directories need to be on the DOS partition? Also, can I just use the sysinstall program to do it or do I have to boot from the floppy. The reason I ask is that I seem to be able to use sysinstall for a distribution off the floppy but not from the partition. I get a not available on media you have selected "message" even though the distribution on the DOS partition is exactly as the one on the floppy. All help and information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks..... Sergio serg@stic.net
