The ISOs are st ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ISO-IMAGES-i386/4.5/ The install disk is the only one you really need. The remaining disks contain packages. See the FreeBSD Handbook at http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ for details. You could also update to STABLE. See Chapter 19, "The Cutting Edge" for detail on use of cvsup to do this. R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) Ernest O.
