I visited your home page and tried to figure out how to download the OS. Your instructions lead from ftp to ftp with list upon list of files to download but I could not identify any file that appeared to actually contain the basic OS or kernal. For example. If I am on the following page, ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/FreeBSD-stable which file or files would I download and install to provide the basic OS? Your assistance will be greatly appreciated.
