we have been uploading the first disk of the Walnut creek 4-disc set since
about FreeBSD 3.3 (maybe earilier, maybe 3.4, my memory back that far is fuzzy
:). You will find ISO's here:

 ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/ISO-IMAGES/
 ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/alpha/ISO-IMAGES/

it just so happens that the 4.0-RELEASE ISO images are for some reason,
