Hi,

I do have backups. :))
(Dumb compressed partition images on DVD when a
 rescue Linux was booted. Plus MBR copies.)

> you want RELENG_8

So i am downloading
  FreeBSD-8.0-RELENG_8-20100318-JPSNAP-amd64-dvd1.iso

I still have 2 partitions unused on the disk.
For now i can afford to install a real system.


>  Good luck! :)

I will cry for help when being stuck.


Have a nice day :)

Thomas
