ORRRRR.... you could follow the link that says 'installation instructions' Download two files, make a boot disk, boot off of the boot disk, setup a network connection, and let the installation program download everything it needs automatically. BTW, if you buy the book and CD set you're getting the most useful book for newbies to FreeBSD there is. You're also supporting the FreeBSD project, ftp.cdrom.com the worlds busiest ftp site, and most importantly continued updating of FreeBSD itself. On the other hand, if that's still to much for you, check out www.cheapbytes.com to get a VERY stripped down CDROM. It dosen't have everything you'll need but for a basic install it's pretty good.
