This is because FreeBSD recommends 2.2.8 over 3.0 until 3.0 matures. 2.2.8 First page - Click "Getting FreeBSD" Second page - Click "installation boot disk image" 3.0 First page - Click "Getting FreeBSD" Second page - Click "Obtaing FreeBSD" Third page - Click "FTP Sites" Fourth page - Click "ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/" >It's no wonder that linux is more popular.

I think that it was even easier than winblows to install. I hardly think that two clicks is "less accessible". Once you run the install, see if your opinion changes. >I have the boot floppy now. I did a search on the FreeBSD site and it >gave me absolutely nothing on a search. Oddly, searching "3.0 release" yields "http://www.freebsd.org/releases/index.html" as the very first hit.
