You can get the most important docs from ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/doc// also in pdf format and in various other flavors. (Handbook, FAQ, etc) They can also be viewed at http://www.freebsd.org/docs.html The man pages are not available in pdf, but they can be viewed online on http://www.freebsd.org/docs.html#man I do not think there is an easy way to download them and print them just like that, but it shouldn't be necessary either. By the time you need them, they will be probably on your machine, if you select the "Doc" item during the installation. (which I strongly advise you to do.) If you still think you need them, many of them are printed in the book "The Complete FreeBSD" by Greg Lehey, available from all good bookstores and from FreeBSD Mall (http://www.freebsdmall.com/) And never forget, if you have problems with FreeBSD, the mailing list freebsd-questions@freebsd.org is there for you! Wish you the best of luck and have fun with FreeBSD!
