I am new to FreeBSD and wish to install a version (6.1) within VMWare to =
learn the system. I have installed and used Ubuntu Linux using the Gnome =
desktop and have extensive experience with all of the Windows OS's. The =
problem I am having is trying to determine without too much trial and =
error which ISO(s) to download. I have downloaded both ISO disks (1 & 2) =
for an i386 platform. Are both disks necessary for installation (the =
505mb and 574mb) ? Or are each disk the same version using a different =
desktop? Basically, what ISO(s) do I need to burn to disk for the =
initial installation?
