I have installed freebsd on my 386 pc. Unfortunately, I did not allot 
enough disk space for extracting the bindist. I left only 62mb, instead 
of the 80mb recommended. Is it possible to extract the bindist in its 
entirety on only 62 mb? If not, how is it possible to copy files from 
unix to disk? I kept the bindist on the /usr/distrib, but I'm not sure 
how to copy to floppy. I may have to redo from scratch, and I would 
like to avoid having to download 15 mb of stuff all over again! Please 
advise.

Thanking you in advance.
