Hi all...

I am a New bee, in the unix world. Just putting up the white flag..

I originally installed 2.2.2 via cd's that were included in a book by
Greg Lehey, "The Complete FreeBSD", Walnut Creek CDROM Books.
All went well and now problems..

Right now I have installed  FreeBSD 3.2.2. /bin via DOS after
downloading to NT40/DOS subdir's on another PC. Would have done via
Network\FTP install but I would have had to rewire my modem (com3\irq5).

This part of install was fantastic.... I have FreeBSD running and now
want to install products..etc  I initially installed from boot diskette
and the following subdir:

 Directory of C:\
06/28/98  10:13a        <DIR>          bin
.
.
.
Now I want to install the code from the following  subDir's):

  Directory of C:\FREEBSD

06/28/98  11:42p        <DIR>          catepages
06/28/98  11:43p        <DIR>          dict
06/28/98  11:58a        <DIR>          doc
06/28/98  09:33p        <DIR>          intro
06/28/98  11:41p        <DIR>          manpages
06/28/98  09:57p        <DIR>          packages
06/28/98  11:42p        <DIR>          ports
06/29/98  12:28a        <DIR>          proclibs
06/28/98  11:13a        <DIR>          tools
06/29/98  01:13a        <DIR>          xfree86

PROBLEM:  Using "/stand/sysinstall" when I try to install via Dos i get
a message that it can't find the Directory to install the product. I
have moved and tried:
06/28/98  11:42p        <DIR>          catepages
 to
 Directory of C:\catepages

But FreeBSD's "systemically"  can not find the subdirectory....

any Ideas.....

Thank's ....
Bill
