Howdy,

I have successfully installed FreeBSD/386 on my Toshiba laptop
Satellite Pro 410CS (phew!$^$%!).  It was actually rather easy but a
slight pain.  I had to do the install from a DOS/Windows95 partition.
I didn't have enough space so I could only do an initial install.  Now
I have more space an want to intall additional components but I can't
get it to work.

I am executing /stand/sysinstall to attempt this.  My first attempt
was to try to get gateD to install.  I still don't have enough space
to copy the entire CD-ROM onto my DOS/WIN partition.  What files do I
need to copy over to the DOS/WIN partition to get this install to
work.  I will be trying to install other components so I need to do
the same thing for them too.

Any help would be apprciated.

Thanks,

Donner
