If you browse to www.freebsd.org you will see a link in the left column that says "Getting FreeBSD" Follow that link. On the page that the link takes you too the second section has some links to the FreeBSD Handbook for "obtaining' and 'installing' FreeBSD. It the computer you are installing on has access to the Internet by LAN or Modem then all you will need to download before starting the install process are 2 floppy images kern.flp and mfsroot.flp and the program fdimage.exe to write them to floppies. From there the install process can get everything it needs from the Internet. Or if you don't have Internet access but you do have a CDROM drive, you can buy a CD to install from (You can also download the CD image and burn it yourself.) The Handbook really covers everything you should need. Good Luck. ----- Original Message ----- From: Stephen Kent <skent@cbmi.com> To: <freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG> Sent: Friday, February 23, 2001 2:49 PM Subject: FreeBSD download and installation > > I am totally new to FreeBSD.
