Hmmm, if ye go to the FAQ on freebsd.org, check out section 2.5, that will
explain which files to get to get a minimal installation running (which ye
might burn on CD to do a first-time install).

Then when ye have a minimal system simply ftp the rest whenever ye get yer
net-access... Personally I was fonder to buy CD's from cdrom.com
(supporting the project in this way as well) and have a fast medium for
install instead of downloading everything over and over again.
