freebsd via nfs, or ftp or http over a local network.

How to create any or all nfs/ftp/http installation server. I went
threw
man pages it shows me CDROM sharing network installation. I want to

Use dump/restore and Fix-it from installation CD-ROM. I use this
method and install new server over 20-30 min.

All will equally serve the purpose of helping you install the files on
your target machine. NFS is the least computing intensive option though
and doesn't require additional components to be installed in order to
use an NFS server. I would suggest not using this though if concerned
about security issues, i.e. your machine is running on a
unsecured/public network.
