I believe ISO images are available on ftp.freebsd.org or one of its mirrors. The latest ISO image is available from this location: ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/ISO-IMAGES/4.6.2/ The ISO image of disc 1 is 627 MB and disc 2 is 223 MB. I believe that you only need disc 1. I only needed disc one for FreeBSD 4.5- RELEASE. Going to 4.6.2 I just upgraded instead of downloading. If your connection speed or type (aol might be problematic for downloading such a large file) prevents you from reasonably downloading such a large file or you don't have a CD burner, you'll have to get a friend to help out or bite the bullet and buy a CDROM distribution. Those folks make money not on the OS itself, but on packaging, distribution and support (and documenation, of course). Good luck!
