Hi, you can order FreeBSD on CDROM. See www.cdrom.com All you need to download is the "boot.flp" from the floppies subdirectory on ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD Dump this to a disk (it4s a disk image), e.g. by using "dd" of one of your previous unixes. Reboot this disk. If you have a permanent internet connection, this will download all it needs for you. If you do not have a permanent connection, you will at least need to download "bin", "doc", "manpages" to start an installation. Copy those files somewhere you can access them and boot the boot.flp. Prior to downloading you need to decide what version of FreeBSD you want. You probably want to try 2.2.2-RELEASE. On 22-May-97 at 00:53:06 Michael D.
