From: Eric Jacoboni Date: 26 Feb 1999 00:34:18 +0100 Message-ID: <85k8x6cb2d.fsf@titine.fr.eu.org> Lines: 27 X-Mailer: Gnus v5.6.45/XEmacs 20.4 - "Emerald" Sender: owner-freebsd-newbies@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Hi, I'm a Linux user since 3 years and i want now to test another Unix flavor. I plan to build a 3.1-RELEASE from scratch : i've downloaded kern.flp and mfsroot.flp. Both disks runs the installation process and i've created 1 slice and 2 partitions in it to host FBSD on my system : one for swap, one for / (i'll see later a multiple fs configuration). Now, i need to know what to download to have a _minimal_ FBSD system running (i'll populate it later). In order to ease this installation process, i think the best solution is to download the files on my DOS partition to install them : i've tried the ftp solution but it doesn't work : i've a dialup connection and all the docs i've read (Handbook, Faq) are not so verbose on the ppp config during the installation process :( So i prefer download the files using my Linux Box, put them in a DOS partition and use them for installation. So my question : what are the absolute mandatory files/directories to have a minimal FBSD system ? (be cool with my phone bill ;-) Thanks in advance, -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Éric Jacoboni « No sport ! » (W.
