I have download the complete 2.1.7.1 distribution to a Unix machine at work.
I have a DOS-formatted HD and I want to put FreeBSD on it in order to 
take FreeBSD home (my Intenet connection at home is slow enought to 
prevent me from trying ftp installation there).
The *.TXT files instruct to create a FREEBSD directoy on 
the hard drive.
How do I prevent file names for breaking at 8 characters and loosing its 
case when I FTP from the Unix machine to the DOS machine?

Thanks in advance for any information that may help me.
