I have no CDROM, so i d/led some of the packages from current-packages on the FTP site (sysutils,shells,security,net,dev) and i was wondering how i would go about Installing from a MS-DOS partition? Also, do the names of the files matter? And do they need to be in certain directories? Did i d/l the correct packages to run a bare/minimum installation? I was just going to modify all of the names, and then copy them to my MSDOS partition. I would like to give it a try, but i'm not sure about what i need, or how to install. If anyone can help, i'd really appreciate it. Please email me if possible. Thanks.
