disc2 is the 'rescue disk' -- basically it contains a bootable live
filesystem image. That's why it's smaller than the disc1 image:
ftp> pwd
257 "/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/ISO-IMAGES/4.10"
ftp> dir
229 Entering Extended Passive Mode (|||16071|)
150 Here comes the directory listing.
-rw-r--r-- 1 110 0 648151040 May 25 23:07 4.10-RELEASE-i=
386-disc1.iso
-rw-r--r-- 1 110 0 286195712 May 25 23:08 4.10-RELEASE-i=

226 Directory send OK.
If you buy a set of CDs from a vendor (freebsdmall.com, bsdmall.com)
you'll typically get a 4 disc set, where discs 1 and 2 are as on the
FTP sites, but discs 3 and 4 are chock full of yummy software
goodness. Even so, what you'll get is only a fraction of what's
available from ports. Actually, nowadays you can probably get a DVD
instead of disks 3 and 4, which should get you quite a lot of the
available ports.
Cheers,
Matthew
