Bad situation, if you got your money back no harm no foul. We have all been where you are now at some point Now, so that you will not give up and this will not stop you from your pursuit of learning FreeBSD. First, do you have a cd burner or know someone who does? - find a high speed Internet connection, go here. www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/mirrors-ftp.html Notice at the top of the page you are 'in' the FreeBSD Handbook. The ftp BSD link (about 4 inches down the page from the top) will take you to where you can download FreeBSD for nothing. follow ISO's , then ISO 386 then 4.5 - here click on the install iso. you will be prompted to download the iso Try to create a folder ahead of time to hold the iso - check your free space the iso is quite large 600+ Megs there is plenty contained in this one iso, it will give you a fully functional machine If you don't have DSL or Cable or don't know anyone who does Go here http://www.bsdmall.com/ and buy a cd set. These are the same iso images as from the web. Most important -- read the FreeBSD Handbook ( from the link above) at least the first 3 chapters.
