(Sorry, lost track of quoting)

The style is okay, but I would suggest rearranging the order to 
demphasize the DVD with its quickly-obsolete packages.  Media type is 
very important and should probably be mentioned first.

>> FreeBSD-8.2-RELEASE-i386-disc1.iso    - CD:  Installer, FreeBSD OS
>> FreeBSD-8.2-RELEASE-i386-memstick.img - USB: Installer, FreeBSD OS, image for memory sticks
>> FreeBSD-8.2-RELEASE-i386-bootonly.iso - CD:  Installer, installs from network
>> FreeBSD-8.2-RELEASE-i386-dvd1.iso.xz  - DVD: Installer, FreeBSD OS, many pre-compiled packages (large file)
>> FreeBSD-8.2-RELEASE-i386-livefs.iso   - CD:  FreeBSD live CD for repairs

A lot of the people who needlessly download the DVD would be better off 
with bootonly.  It's not any harder to install.
