In the directory you reached ( ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ ) there is a file README.TXT that I suggest you read. (Hint: Your next step after reading README.TXT should to go down into the "releases" subdirectory and go on from there. Files named README.TXT or INSTALL.TXT are likely to contain useful information.) The Handbook, found at http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/ , is also something you should study. It contains lots of useful information as does the FAQ.
