My platform is I386 and please email me witha solution. There are several ways to get it, depending on what hardware you have. If you have a machine equipped with a CD burner, you can download the ISO images for the current FreeBSD i386 distribution, burn them onto CDs (total of 4 for the most recent 5.2 release), and install from that. Make sure your CD writer software recognizes that the files you downloaded are ISO images and not regular data files. If you don't have a CD burner, your best bet may be to either order the CDs from freebsdmall.com, or make an appropriate boot/install set on floppies, then complete the actual installation by downloading the packages you need from the net. Instructions for getting and installing FreeBSD are on the website at www.freebsd.org. jms
