That was over a dial up connection of 28.8 Kbps, although my modem is a 56k, my dial up isn't that fast. That was from Win98 and 24 hours a day, not counting reconnects and reboots. That also doesn't include the packages, it took several days to get X installed from the ports. I have the Cds and The Complete FreeBSD book, from Walnut Creek now, and would recommend getting the CDs. Kyle Pos wrote: > > I want to install FreeBSD by downloading it from a FTP-server.
