Hello. Shouldn't you have a newbie section on the WWW? I have no idea what is going on. I'm a Microsoft boy but need to learn FreeBSD for a project. Please can you let me know what these files that I downloaded actually are? . 7.0-RELEASE-i386-bootonly.iso o Boot only? Does it download files from the Internet to install the OS? Does it allow you to repair an installation? Why is it available for download? I have the entire 7.0 release 32-bit and would like to know what this file does. . 7.0-RELEASE-i386-livefs.iso o What does "livefs" stand for (Live File System? What?)? What does this disc do? I've seared google.com for "what is livefs" (in quotes) and got one result: http://www.bsdforums.org/forums/archive/index.php/t-56962.html It's a forum, and on the post, the guy doesn't know what it does. Last thing, what languages does FreeBSD support? I have a specific way of organising my software and like to know what languages the system supports. Please can you answer the three things highlighted in orange. Thank you for your time. Brad Smith
