Sponsors of BSD still hope to make some money selling DVDs & donating from profits - we hope. There's various 600M cdrom images for various releases & CPU architectures on all the many mirrors of ftp://ftp.freebsd.org One or two CDs is all you need to do a basic install, after that many use the net.
