Actually, No. Jordan Hubbard, the FreeBSD release manager, only made the first CD of the four CD set available for download as an ISO image. The first CD contains everything you need to install FreeBSD, and the ports skeletons (which will help you to install extra applications later). The applications themselves, however, aren't included. You can easily get these applications over the Internet however, and this is documented in the FreeBSD handbook on www.freebsd.org/handbook/ If you pay for your internet connection, I would very strongly recommend the full 4-disc FreeBSD CD Set as available from www.freebsdmall.com Hope this helped! --- Andrew Boothman <andrew@ukug.uk.FreeBSD.org> FreeBSD UK User Group http://ukug.uk.FreeBSD.org/~andrew/ http://ukug.uk.FreeBSD.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
