I thought for a couple of minutes on this and then chuckled. I would probably go to cvsweb.cgi but the release web page is probably just as good. Check out ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/. You have to follow the alpha/ or i386/ to see what the choices are. Some of the releases have EOL'ed and you will only see 3.x and 4.x. The current and stables, for the most part, only have packages in them. The releases look like the tree structure setup on a CD.
