Either do a diskette install, or download the ISO. Everything else will
need _more_ time online. To build your own ISO, you need a running
FreeBSD system. If your internet connection is expensive, maybe it's
cheaper to buy the complete CD sets from WRS (USA, www.freebsdmall.com)
or Lehmanns Online Bookstore Germany, www.lob.de). If it's cheap, just
download overnight.
