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).
