> I am absolutely new to FreeBSD and would like a simple 'by the hand' explanation of how to install and use FreeBSD on a Pc. I tried to follow the info from its website but explanations seem too cryptic for me to understand properly. I'd like to try it on a empty partition of my hard drive, alternatively a memory stick/CD/DVD will also do. Appreciating any help.
> PS - I am a regular Windows user.

so stick with it if you didn't read handbook and instalation manual which 
is NOT cryptic.
