Hi I am trying to install FreeBSD on a separate partition on a Celeron machine(with win 98 on the other partition). I do not have a CD ROM and was planning to do it after downloading the software off the web. However, the installation instructions that are given are a little confusing. I have tried to download from ftp://ftp.ca.freebsd.org but I get only directories containing the src code- are there any binaries which can be downloaded? Also, does installation from MSDOS partition(which I think is the only choice available to me) mean that the bsd software will be kept on a directory in the win98 partition and it will then create a new partition table on the partition where it is to be installed? If these questions are too elementary for this forum, can anyone please suggest another mailing list ./ website.
