You can find them on FreeBSD mirror sites; [http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/mirrors-ftp.html] If you don't have any experience, I would recommend that you 1) Read chapter 2 of the handbook; [http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/index.html]= =20 2) Install FreeBSD on a virtual machine first, to practice. A nice free virtual machine is qemu [www.qemu.org]. You can download windows binaries from [http://www1.interq.or.jp/~t-takeda/qemu/]. 3) Install FreeBSD on your PC. I've set up a page with some tips you might find usefull [http://www.xs4all.nl/~rsmith/freebsd/index.html].
