> Hi, if you want to install freebsd from a cd, i suggest you to download
the .iso from this adress and than burn it on cds.

here's the link for the production release 4.9.
ftp://ftp4.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ISO-IMAGES-i386/4.9/
This is the best version to get the best support and most port will already
be there.

You can order the original cds from this adress if you don't have a cd
burner.

Hope it will help you!
