Hello,
I would like to install the bins from 2.1-SNAP (no games, proflibs, etc).
What should I get ?
I've tried the following :
- get floppies,
- cp the bin directory on a disk (UFS for FreeBSD) in
/FreeBSD/bin,
- boot from floppies,
- disklabel all my disks (the same as they are now)
the disk containing the bin directory is mounted
on /dist,
- use the UFS media (tell to use /dist/FreeBSD)
- try to extract, but this fails.
Can somebody help me ?
Thanks.
Herve Soulard.
PS: I've also tried to return to the 'disklabel' part and use
the 'Write' command to mount disk but this blocks the
installation program (only CTRL-C does something).
