I would agree with Craig Burgess. I too, am new to FreeBSD and also getting away from Linux. I can't afford the CDs and can't seem to get it by booting with the boot floppies and ftping from freebsd.com, so I've been ftping all the files from there and saving them in Windows and have been downloading for 5 days so far, day and night. I use a dial up connection and only achieve a 28.8k, so I can't get much at a time. I was told that it would require about 25 floppies,or install from a DOS partition. ----- Original Message ----- From: <Fravlahua@aol.com> To: <freebsd-questions@freebsd.org> Sent: Friday, February 11, 2000 5:53 PM Subject: how many? > > Hi, I m Josh.
