Hmmm, if ye go to the FAQ on freebsd.org, check out section 2.5, that will explain which files to get to get a minimal installation running (which ye might burn on CD to do a first-time install). Then when ye have a minimal system simply ftp the rest whenever ye get yer net-access... Personally I was fonder to buy CD's from cdrom.com (supporting the project in this way as well) and have a fast medium for install instead of downloading everything over and over again. --- Jeroen Ruigrok van der Werven A veil of smoke is what I am, asmodai(at)wxs.nl I wait and I wait...
