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!

Best regards,

Randy
