Could you tell me where > can I download it? FreeBSD don't have the rpm (so called packet management). In FreeBSD you'll discover the ports system to build and add software and after that you'll don't like rpm anymore. To download FreeBSD just follow the download-link on http://www.freebsd.org/. You'll get an iso image that you can burn on cd and boot your PC from. If this is your first install (and I strongly think so) you shouldn't boot your computer before you read at least chapter 2 of the handbook. -volker -- Please don't cc me: I read the lists and don't need your message twice :-) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
