Hi I don,t know what's in dists/bin, so I need
to know if it includes a file manager & a terminal
program, if so, what are they named, & what are the
commands to access them.
If there are no such programs, included in dists/bin,
can someone recommend such programs, preferebly,
ones that don't require compiling, precompiled
binaries, ready to execute in a freebsd enviorment.
I can only install a little bit off freebsd at a
time, because it dose'nt support my atapi cdrom drive,
so I'll need a file manager & terminal modem program,
to give me something to work with, in finding my way
around the system, & downloading outside stuff.
I going to have to install from floppy, just dists/bin
at first, until I get oriented through a file manager.
If anybody can help, please respond, Thanx in advance.
