I suggest you install the most recent release (4.5-RELEASE), and apply the patches as stated in the advisories from freebsd.org/security. You could also install the latest release + security updates from ftp://snapshots.jp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/4.5-RELEASE-p3/. I usually mirror the release directories to a local server and do a ftp install from that server, but you can also install directly from a freebsd ftp server. Applying security patches requires that you install the source. If you want to install from that snapshot server, you should use the corresponding floppy images. If you don't have a network connection at the location you are installing, you might have to download and burn an ISO image, but I don't think there are ISO's of 4.5-RELEASE-p3 (the -p3 indicates that 3 security patches have been applied). Don't forget to keep up-to-date with security updates (you might want to subscribe to the freebsd-security-notifications mailing list).
