FreeBSD-8.2-RELEASE-i386-bootonly.iso - Requires an Internet Connectio= n 2. FreeBSD-8.2-RELEASE-i386-disc1.iso - Full Installer, includes all files to install base. 3. FreeBSD-8.2-RELEASE-i386-dvd1.iso.xz - DID-sized image, includes Base+Packages (not entire collection) 4. FreeBSD-8.2-RELEASE-i386-livefs.iso - Live file system, boot and run off of CD/DVD, used for recovery # Good Enough 5. FreeBSD-8.2-RELEASE-i386-memstick.img - Installer for USB memory stick # Same as above That wordy page you skimmed over, I believe it explains what these all do. It's great that your interested in FreeBSD, but keep in mind, FreeBSD isn't for the lighthearted or impatient and reading is a necessity. The handbook is almost required reading, it will answer almost all of your very basic questions. --=20 > Chris Brennan > -- > A: Yes. > >Q: Are you sure? > >>A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. > >>>Q: Why is top posting frowned upon? > http://xkcd.com/84/ | http://xkcd.com/149/ | http://xkcd.com/549/ > GPG: D5B20C0C (6741 8EE4 6C7D 11FB 8DA8 9E4A EECD 9A84 D5B2 0C0C) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ --------------000909090709080408060507-- --------------enigD0A5F645866C2F34277B65A1 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.17 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJOYppoAAoJEO7NmoTVsgwMheEH/jdWcsi9sG0oElNy+r84dMA8 2MRf9n8vmqFs3MABJBsikgQDZfxSRVIpIJheo47mbF70jjyk9f68UTwr0xVbama7 uQ26U3TUMdHCoQdZrAbt9G5AMJHjt7XGrPM/eWhljvpNLCzd4sYKy4G7IOoUveRT Pw6leVRNNtqbZfUSXKsQ4bf8o1VXnmeen5uP5qjYdU4/vcEmasIU9eGXnXTwSkkf xiS3180Bso6PKYA+o1bqj0b7be3ssn1HdrHVDIWwxd4D3KXVtVQEm6lyKXQJ2ZEL NdZS8JgJ/UC4qUKuABULXeJD1SuKvbyxA4jAQF9RC3jAdv//YjsDXruYj1Y9vIY= =z+4e -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enigD0A5F645866C2F34277B65A1--
