Lac> Mark You can install FreeBSD in different ways. One is online install. You need to have a connection before you install. So you probably wan't to download the cd before you install. You can download this with ftp from ftp.freebsd.org (login anonymous) then go to the directory: /pub/FreeBSD/ISO-IMAGES-i386/4.6/ and download either disc1.iso. If you want to limit the donwload you could try mini.iso, but you miss out on a lot of stuf. Another option is to buy the cd. I looked around for a wail but i didn't find the site where you can buy these. -- Best regards, Alex The FreeBSD handbook www.freebsd.org/handbook To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
