The mini-iso is a bootable disc which contains the files for a base installation; however, they do not contain any packages such as window managers or XFree86. If you are expecting to install a graphical environment, you will need to use the full iso. Only the first disc is required. The iso discs are bootable and contain the installer. There is no need to manually copy any files to your hard drive. Before you start, I would suggest that you review the installation instructions at: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/install.html This should answer most if not all of your questions. And, of course, Welcome to FreeBSD! Best regards, Randy --
