Hello there,
	I am trying to install FreeBSDv2 on my computer.  The first 2 
diskettes went through swiftly.  However, when I tried to install the 
bindist, the screen has some blinking messages saying "... can't find 
bindist.aX ..."  So, I tried to delete the cksum script.  Then it gives 
me another error message saying "can't find cksum...".  So, I suspect the 
computer was tring to perform the cksum script and it can't find the 
files after the first few files.  What can I do?  A floppy can only 
contain a few files.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks
P.S. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
