And the boxed sets that come with manuals, someone has to pay to print those as well. FreeBSD is free in that you do not pay for the software and are free to use it under the very liberal terms of the BSD license. You get all the source code and you may do what you wish to it, as long as you don't pretend to have written it and display the appropriate copyright notices etc (see BSD license for details). - To buy a boxed set google for it in your country for a reseller, in the states the outlets are listed on the website. - Download it via the ftp site - Find someone to download it and burn it on a CD for you -- Regards Cliff Sarginson -- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
