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. Fernando P.
