Your on the right track, lets be a little more verbose/correct

1. FreeBSD-8.2-RELEASE-i386-bootonly.iso - Requires an Internet Connectio=
n

2. FreeBSD-8.2-RELEASE-i386-disc1.iso - Full Installer, includes all
files to install base.

3. FreeBSD-8.2-RELEASE-i386-dvd1.iso.xz - DID-sized image, includes
Base+Packages (not entire collection)

4. FreeBSD-8.2-RELEASE-i386-livefs.iso - Live file system,
boot and run off of CD/DVD, used for recovery # Good Enough

5. FreeBSD-8.2-RELEASE-i386-memstick.img - Installer for USB memory
stick # Same as above

That wordy page you skimmed over, I believe it explains what these all
do. It's great that your interested in FreeBSD, but keep in mind,
FreeBSD isn't for the lighthearted or impatient and reading is a
necessity. The handbook is almost required reading, it will answer
almost all of your very basic questions.
