If your time is at a premium and bandwidth slim, buy the CD. The price is extremely reasonable and the book is important if you are new to this. If you are using Windows to download, you won't mess around with trying to burn an image that will not be created correctly under your CD creation product. The company I went to was http://freebsdmall.com but there are couple listed at the freebsd.org. If you really do want to download, get the ISO images by following the "Getting FreeBSD" link under http://freebsd.org and selecting the i386 ISO Images link and downloading Disk1 and 2. If you will need to boot from floppy, you will need to navigate to the RELEASES directory, pick up the images for the floppies from the floppies directory (.flp images) plus the programs from the tools directory to create floppys (if you are using Windows) and follow the instructions shown there in the readme. It is necessary to read all docs provided. I found that the two different products I had to burn CDs could not create anything usable. That's why I chose to wait the two days for the CD to arrive. Good luck. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tari HCK" <ifiti6@hotmail.com> To: <freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG> Sent: Tuesday, May 13, 2003 5:46 PM Subject: need information about bsd > > Hi > How can i get this OS.
