You have to have cd burner to create your own cd. For ever is days and not hours, that is if the server does not time-out your session or some other reason that you drop your connection. The best thing to do is order the single install cd from http://www.linuxcentral.com/catalog/index.php3?prod_code=L000-186&id =C1ConcQa0UBCF for $3.00 or http://cart.cheapbytes.com/cgi-bin/cart for $5.00 -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org]On Behalf Of SB Sent: Sunday, December 21, 2003 11:05 PM To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: FreeBSD.
