You'd have to get the boot disk images (kern.flp and mfsroot.flp) from e.g. ftp://current.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/snapshots/i386/4.0-20000127-CURRENT/floppies/ (Sorry, I don't know if there's an australian server with snapshots of FreeBSD-current). Since you don't have experience with FreeBSD, I'd suggest you don"t install -current, though. :-) In the main menu of the installation program, go to "options" and enter 3.4-RELEASE in the field for the release to install. If the download per proxy doesn't work, please let me know.
