How come the images are so big (917 MB)? The iso > image I downloaded was only 45.7 MB. It's Matthew, with two t's. Anyhow, it's not that the memstick images are so big -- if you look, it is consistent with the DVD image and bigger than the CD images because of the limits on the size of what you can put on a CD. It's how come the bootonly image is so small? The bootonly image basically consists of just the OS kernel and sysinstall. You can install the OS with this, but only if you have access to the net while doing so. Sysinstall will download install sets from one or other of the FreeBSD FTP sites as part of the install process. Ultimately for installing one machine you'll use roughly the same amount of bandwidth by installing via an iso or by using the bootonly image and ftp'ing stuff as part of the install.
