Hi, thanks for the quick response.
I'm not sure if I will be able to download 2GB successfully, I prefer
getting the separate ISO's. I only see disk1 for 8.0, where are the rest?

Subject: Re: download
Hi, I wish to download FreeBSD but I am unsure which option to choose.

This is a good option, if the machine is connected into internet and
downloading the base system and ports is okay for you.
03/21/2010 02:09PM 612,933,632 FreeBSD-7.3-RELEASE-i386-disc1.iso
03/21/2010 02:09PM 706,879,488 FreeBSD-7.3-RELEASE-i386-disc2.iso
03/21/2010 02:10PM 542,836,736 FreeBSD-7.3-RELEASE-i386-disc3.iso
Boot disc with base system packaged and ports added. Best option if
you are mostly planning to use prebuild software or the machine is not
connected.

Basically discs1-3 'merged' in one DVD image, better than the separate
discs IMHO if you have DVD drive available.
03/21/2010 02:12PM 238,215,168 FreeBSD-7.3-RELEASE-i386-livefs.iso
'Repair disc' that can also be used on manual installations and such -
good to have available in case of emergencies, but not really
necessary.

PS. And as Frank said in another reply, I'd consider 8.0 instead
