Or you can just download only the files required to make your boot floppies and then do an FTP install. When I first installed my system, I downloaded the ISO, burned that, then created the boot floppies (my system wouldn't boot from CD), booted from the floppies, and then installed from the CD. Since then, I have never used that CD as FreeBSD is always changing and evolving and any updated I do via FTP using CVSUP (you'll learn about that later). This, among many other install options, is covered in the Handbook at http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/install.html. Experts: Please feel free to correct me if there is some disadvantage to my suggestion. Thanks!
