If it is FreeBSD you want to install try %fetch ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/ISO-IMAGES/6.1/6.1-RELEASE-i386-disc1.iso from a command prompt (the above command is all on one line). If you are using a windows computer, go to ftp://ftp.freebsd.org and navigate to the directory above and download 6.1-RELEASE-i386-disc1.iso. When it has downloaded burn it to CD and boot from the CD. You can install just from 6.1-RELEASE-i386-disc1.iso. 6.1-RELEASE-i386-disc2.iso has more software packages but you can install them later online. See also http://www.freebsd.org/handbook Chris
