If you want to install everything, then you'll need everything...

The Installation Guide in the Handbook explains how to do a net install
(see http://www.fr.freebsd.org/handbook/install.html or
http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/install.html), assuming you have an
Internet connection. When you have booted the floppy, you can perform an
"upgrade installation" off of a FTP server, i.e. ftp.fr.freebsd.org.

You might want to direct questions like this to freebsd-questions@freebsd.org.
