You wouldn't want One Big Compressed File; it'd be in the ballpark of 30 megabytes. See http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/install.html and refer to the following list: FreeBSD File Requirements: REQUIRED: floppies/boot.flp (boot floppy image) tools/fdimage.exe (DOS bootfloppy image writer) bin/* RECOMMENDED: manpages/ compat*/ doc/ (at your discretion) src/ssys.* Doug White | University of Oregon Internet: dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu | Residence Networking Assistant http://gladstone.uoregon.edu/~dwhite | Computer Science Major
