Hello,

I am currently running NetBSD 0.8 on my machine.  I want to put XFree86 1.3 
on it.

My question--how do I get the XFree86 binaries on disk?  I'll be using a
Sun to ftp the binaries down, then I want to write them to disk.
The disks are formatted for MS-DOS now.  Does this matter when I want
to put UNIX binaries on them, or do I have to format them in NetBSD?

I really appreciate an answer to a beginner's question!!

Matt
