Take a look at the handbook at www.freebsd.org (or mirrors). The instructions have all you need to get you started. >I did download the floppy > image and the fdimage.exe.

I say "you may", not because of the intallation program, but because of your ISP. I have only done ftp installs a couple of times. One time I had a provider which had the common ppp login while the second time I had to ask in the lists for LOTS of help to find out how to connect to the other ISP. As an alternative you can get the CDrom from Walnut Creek. I highly recommend this route. Can not only save you a lot of time, but since this is your first intallation there may be lots of other things you are not aware that you will soon find out you want. If you have the CD this will help a lot. If money is tight find a couple of friends to split the cost of the CD and share it.
