I have a computer that doesn't have a modem or nic and want to install FreeBSD. I have never tried it before so I am fuzzy about buying the cd's for $30. I would like to download the files using ftp. and then put the files on floppy disks. Is there a list to show what files are needed and which files go on which disk. I also have a zip drive, is there a way to use it when installing FreeBSD? Right now I am using Linux. How does BSD stand up to Linux. I know that BSD is a true unix and Linux is a unix clone. How much more compatible is BSD compared to Linux when using software that is downloaded off of the internet. I have been having alot of trouble getting some software to work with Linux.
