To prepare for installation from an MS-DOS partition,
copy the files from the distribution into a directory
called C:\FREEBSD. The directory tree structure
of the CDROM must be partially reproduced within this directory
so we suggest using the DOS xcopy
command. For example, to prepare for a minimal installation of
FreeBSD:
C> MD C:\FREEBSD
C> XCOPY /S E:\BIN C:\FREEBSD\BIN\
C> XCOPY /S E:\MANPAGES C:\FREEBSD\MANPAGES\
C: is where you have free space
and E: is where your CDROM is mounted.
For as many `DISTS' you wish to install from MS-DOS
(and you have free space for), install each one under
C:\FREEBSD - the BIN dist is only the
minimal requirement.
