No such file exists; it would be 100-200MB, and downloading such a big
file without errors is extremely difficult. I can provide this filelist
though to get you started:
FreeBSD File Requirements:
REQUIRED:
floppies/boot.flp (boot floppy image)
tools/fdimage.exe (DOS bootfloppy image writer)
bin/*
RECOMMENDED:
manpages/
compat*/
doc/ (at your discretion)
src/ssys.*
You could also buy the CDROM from Walnut Creek (http://www.cdrom.com).
