Hi Maksym, You can view the various disc contents from these files: http://myfreebsd.homeunix.net/4.10-R-i386-disc1-contents.txt http://myfreebsd.homeunix.net/4.10-R-i386-disc2-contents.txt http://myfreebsd.homeunix.net/4.10-R-i386-miniinst-contents.txt The "disc2" is a fixit/live filesystem and does not seem to contain any packages. If you're installing for the first time, the "disc1" will contain enough for you to install FreeBSD as well as select one of the more popular desktop environments. Most users start out this way and investigate other options as their level of experince increases. The Handbook installation instructions may also be of interest: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/install.html I hope this is of some help to you and that your experience with FreeBSD is as enjoyable as mine has been!
