Okey, I will download those directories then.

Yes, that was what I meant.

I was unable to find that directory on the funet.fi mirror site
that I use - but it was on the freebsd ftp server, so I'll get
it from there.

Okey, so I should completely forget my knowledge about Linux
during the installation? ;)

Anyway, it is great to see that one get support on a free
product, such as FreeBSD. But I will attempt to do the
installation during the weekend, and I hope that it is okey
that I write you back, if I run into major problems?


Thanks,

Lars
