FreeBSD is available for free from a number of sites around the world. You can find a list of servers at: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/mirrors-ftp.html (URL may have wrapped) You don't say where in Africa you are, but one of the sites on the above list is in South Africa. You really need to d/l just the iso of disc 1 if you want the base system and ports skeleton. Of course, you could d/l just the floppy images and do an ftp install to minimize your online time even more. What exactly is the project you're working on and in which country? Perhaps we can be of service we if had more information. Regards, Stheg _______________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Win 1 of 4,000 free domain names from Yahoo!
