Find another machine (at work? a friend?) that has DOS/Winblows or some variant of unix on it, that also has Internet access. Connect to www.freebsd.org and read the docs to make a boot floppy. Note that the procedure will vary according to the system you found as a surrogate. 2. Find another machine (at work? a friend?) that has a CDROM drive, acquire the CDROM distribution (and preferably the book The Complete FreeBSD from Walnut Creek (www.cdrom.com). hope this helps...
