Hello All,
	I am interested in getting 386bsd0.1 or latest.
Since I am a new comer to bsd, can anyone inform me on how to install
the s/w after ftping the files. There are a number of files numbered 00 to XX
Are all  these meant to be written on a floppy  and then installed?
Is there a way of installing 386bsd without having a large number of floppies.
Can I ftp all the files onto my local vax and then try to install 386bsd on my
pc/386 via ethernet from the local vax. If this is possible, how should I set
it up.

Thanks in advance
