	Hello .. I having some difficulty in installing 2.0.5 from a dos 
drive.  I'm installing FBSD to a second partition on the drive, and so 
far, the only success that I've had is when I copy all of the files onto 
floppys and install from THEM.  Takes forever.

	The fbsd files are in the directory /freebsd, as described in the 
instalation files, etc.  

	I get an error simular to "Cannot find /bin/bin.aa" .. so i 
changed the directory name of the source files to "bin" .. of course it 
didnt work.

	Can someone help me out here?

	Should I just wait until 2.1 comes out on CD, and get that?
