Uh, have you actually looked at the web site? FreeBSD is absolutely FREE if you want to do an ftp install. If you want the CD-ROM and the book that Walnut Creek ships with it (Greg Lehey's fine book) then you pay $40. > I prefer the 3.5'' DISKS because I do not have a CD-ROM drive on the > computer I plan to install on, and not FTP because the speed of my > connection and distance from your server to me is to slow and to far for > a fast download. Okay - so you do realize you can ftp. Do you know how many disks you'd need if you were to do a full install? Man, more than I can carry. Basically you're stuck - either ftp or CD-ROM. Note there a number of mirror sites available - maybe one of them will be a faster download for you. You might check for the mirrors - they're listed on the web site.
