But couldnt install them. They I think you've been mislead. For "The Real Thing" (i.e., FreeBSD), try downloading these files: ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/3.3-RELEASE/floppies/boot.flpftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/3.3-RELEASE/floppies/mfsroot.flp Use this utility to unpack them onto floppy disks: ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/3.3-RELEASE/tools/fdimage.exe If you have a highspeed internet connection, try FTP as your installation media, and install from here (enter this during the installation process): ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/3.3-RELEASE/ Before you begin, you should probably read a little more about it.
