You have a few choices: 1) if you don't have a CD, you can create two floppies, boot from them and install via ftp over the internet 2) If you have a CD that will boot, you can burn an ISO image, boot off the CD and do the entire install from CD 3) If you have a CD, but it won't boot, you can boot from floppies (as in #1) then install the remainer of the system from CD > or how do i install with iso files. See http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/install.html If you don't know how to burn an ISO to a CD, read the docs for the CD burning software you're using, all CD burning software is different. > how much mb does > it take after totall install. It depends on the type of install. A minumal is only a few hundred meg, but a more practical installation will probably require a few gig. -- Bill Moran Potential Technologies http://www.potentialtech.com
