Downloading and Burning Free BSD
I clicked the ISO link and I was brought to a directory, this to be exact ( ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/ISO-IMAGES/7.2/) Once I have downloaded all Iso Images do I burn the 'boot only.iso' file on one DVD or CD only? or do I burn that along with 'disc1.iso', and how do I go about burning the rest of the files in that directory once I have downloaded them? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

You should burn the disc1.iso at a minimum. The boot-only.iso is for testing. The other iso images contain packages that you may want to install. -- Jonathan Chen -- "I don't want to achive immortality through my works..

As others have pointed out, disc1 will get you started and, as long as you have an internet connection, you should be able to get the rest (without the other discs). The install will take you through the process. Perhaps you should look at the handbook to familiarize yourself with the install procedures. www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/install.html ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

First off, welcome to FreeBSD. To add to what the others have stated, take a look at http://www.freebsd.org/releases/7.2R/announce.html Basically, you would use the DVD image or if you only have a CD drive, just 'disc1.iso'. If you need additional packages and don't have an internet connection on the machine you are installing FreeBSD, then you may want to get disc2 and disc3 as they contain other, third party, packages ready for use with FreeBSD.
