freebsd installation server (nfs/ftp/http) local network

[Anuj Singh]

Hiee,
it is not on a public network, all i am trying to know how to do it, I do
the same method for installing linux os, I exported FreeBSD6.2 ISO images
via nfs. it didn't worked. Do I need to extract the files? to install
freebsd via nfs, or ftp or http over a local network.
regards
anugunj anuj
