The system that is installed will always be the same---a complete
FreeBSD installation is about 800Mb in size. The different installation
media just provide different installation methods. "Bootonly" downloads
the system over the Internet and installs it; the standard images
contain the system; the large, 2Gb image contains the system, plus a
frozen snapshot of the package repository, so you can install
application packages from it if you don't have a reliable Internet
connection.
