Either do a diskette install, or download the ISO. Everything else will need _more_ time online. To build your own ISO, you need a running FreeBSD system. If your internet connection is expensive, maybe it's cheaper to buy the complete CD sets from WRS (USA, www.freebsdmall.com) or Lehmanns Online Bookstore Germany, www.lob.de). If it's cheap, just download overnight. HTH -Christoph Sold To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
