I have some experience with Slackware Linux, and I was wondering if I am supposed to download from the ftp server "ftp.cdrom.com/.16/FreeBSD/2.1.6-RELEASE/bin" directory or where I am supposed to download from to get as much of FreeBSD as I can. If its alot can anyone tell me what to download for each part of FreeBSD. I am aiming to download from version 2.1.6. If there is a reason why I should change versions, please tell me. Thanks -- "We are the rats in the holes of the world."
