You've found it.

I feel worse, don't worry.  But it might be the headache I've had all
day.

Anyway, readme files.  They're on the FreeBSD CD-ROM: see README.TXT.
Also see INSTALL.TXT, HARDWARE.TXT, and RELNOTES.TXT.

They're available by ftp.  Try either

	ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/README
	ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/2.1.0-RELEASE/README.TXT

This site is less busy:

	ftp://ftp.neosoft.com/pub/FreeBSD/README
	ftp://ftp.neosoft.com/pub/FreeBSD/2.1.0-RELEASE/README.TXT

Also on the web.  Start with

	http://www.freebsd.org/

and click on links until you reach climax :-)
