This question may seem silly but...
What files do I need to download from the FreeBSD ftp server for a minimal installation? 
 Do I need all the files in the /bin directory?  Does FreeBSD have disk sets such as 
Linux slackware has?  Are the files bin.aa, bin.ab, etc. part of an 'a' disk set?
All help is aprreciated.
