The manual and FAQ have been of no great help, because I wish to do a rather unconventional installation. I have no cdrom drive, and my internet acces is limited. I can download files one at a time (although reliability is an issue), and wish to download the appropritate files and then install from my DOS partition. It is proving to be a challenge to figure out exactly which files I need ( I want a minimum install and the ability to compile C++), and during my previous attempts at installation (several months ago) I ran into a few minor problems. Right now I am working under under the assumption that this is the place to ask questions about where to ask questions, hence the vagueness of my questions. If there is an appropriate forum forum for my questions, please let me know....( a freebsd-install mailing list would be nifty if a few gurus who have nothing better to do would moderate)(freebsd-idiot?).
