Hoerter) Newsgroups: comp.os.386bsd.questions Subject: FreeBSD dist. sets Date: 19 Jun 1994 23:06:02 GMT Lines: 17 Message-ID: <2u2j0q$db4@tequesta.gate.net> NNTP-Posting-Host: inca.gate.net X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] Having decided to try FreeBSD, I took a look at freebsd.cdrom.com, and downloaded some of the boot disks, etc. Is there any way to have a finer selection than just the 'binary' set? I _really_ don't want to ftp 50+ files and then discard the binaries I don't want. Is FreeBSD distributed on a package basis, sort of like Linux? Thanks! -- Andrew amh@cyclos.oau.org amh@gate.net #include <std/disclaimer.h>
