Terry, the best way to get the FreeBSD software/OS is to buy the CDRom Set from http://www.freebsdmall.com, or from another trusted online retailer. you can also download pre-made ISO image files of the install CDRom from ftp://ftp.freebsd.org. i highly recommend reading through the FreeBSD handbook before you install and run FreeBSD. it's available online at http://www.freebsd.org/handbook. last, but not least, AOL.com does not support any of the 'alternative' OSs (FreeBSD, Linux, etc), so to run it, and access the internet, you may need to use a different ISP. hope this helps, -- jan -------/ f. johan beisser /--------------------------------------+ http://caustic.org/~jan jan@caustic.org "if my thought-dreams could be seen..
