Hello,

	I had a friend write the 2.1.0-release directory tree and packages to a
cdrom for me, but am having trouble installing.  It says it can't find any
dists files?  I was wondering if there were any other ways to specify where to
install from or a suggestion on what to use for ufs? I've tried
/dev/cd0/2.1.0-release, but it doesn't seem to want to look at the cdrom drive. 

Please send an email as I am trying to get this installed ASAP.

Thanks,
Casey
