Hi, thanks for the quick response. I'm not sure if I will be able to download 2GB successfully, I prefer getting the separate ISO's. I only see disk1 for 8.0, where are the rest? 11/22/2009 03:42AM 44,738,560 8.0-RELEASE-i386-bootonly.iso 11/22/2009 03:43AM 655,591,424 8.0-RELEASE-i386-disc1.iso 11/22/2009 03:46AM 1,870,891,443 8.0-RELEASE-i386-dvd1.iso.gz 11/22/2009 03:47AM 256,077,824 8.0-RELEASE-i386-livefs.iso 11/22/2009 04:34AM 923,207,680 8.0-RELEASE-i386-memstick.img 11/22/2009 04:39AM 346 CHECKSUM.MD5 11/22/2009 04:39AM 521 CHECKSUM.SHA256 Regards Karen ----- Original Message ----- From: "Reko Turja" <reko.turja@liukuma.net> To: "Karen Bester" <Karen@smarttech.co.za>; <freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.org> Sent: Monday, May 17, 2010 4:30 PM Subject: Re: download > Hi, I wish to download FreeBSD but I am unsure which option to choose. > > 03/21/2010 02:08PM 40,554,496 FreeBSD-7.3-RELEASE-i386-bootonly.iso This is a good option, if the machine is connected into internet and downloading the base system and ports is okay for you. > 03/21/2010 02:09PM 612,933,632 FreeBSD-7.3-RELEASE-i386-disc1.iso > 03/21/2010 02:09PM 706,879,488 FreeBSD-7.3-RELEASE-i386-disc2.iso > 03/21/2010 02:10PM 542,836,736 FreeBSD-7.3-RELEASE-i386-disc3.iso Boot disc with base system packaged and ports added.

And as Frank said in another reply, I'd consider 8.0 instead __________ Information from ESET Smart Security, version of virus signature database 5121 (20100517) __________ The message was checked by ESET Smart Security. http://www.eset.com __________ Information from ESET Smart Security, version of virus signature database 5121 (20100517) __________ The message was checked by ESET Smart Security. http://www.eset.com
