Hello Venkat, hello, All! Saturday, December 28, 2002, 12:56:02 AM, you wrote: vr> My question is If I want to load it from a CD. What vr> should I write on the CD from the ftp site.

Sure, BOTH 4.7-disc1.iso and 4.7-mini.iso (which are located under the ftp directory /pub/FreeBSD/ISO-IMAGES-i386/4.7/ at your nearest FreeBSD ftp mirror) ARE BOOTABLE and contain all you need to install FreeBSD. You must not download them both, since disc1 contains everything from the mini image. The difference is that mini allows you to only to install complete FreeBSD, but disc1 also contains a reasonable collection of third-party software (shells, archievers, net, systools, etc.). I recommend you to download the disc1 image, since you will have immediate access to a nice software collection on the CD. Discs 2,3,4 are only a software collections, you can download them, if you want or if the Internet bandwith is cheap for you. As for myself, I'm happy with disc1. :) -- Best regards, Nikolay mailto:pelicano@fpm.kubsu.ru To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
