It's obvious that you have not installed at least 6.0 - and if you have, you have not installed more then just the base. Please refrain from spewing out something that you have not done. Heh - swapping the CD only twice.

I suggest to install not more than just the base at first and install packages later. Then you need to switch the CD once only.

I would like a link to either where there may be a full blown DVD image of 6.0 or a torrent. 2. If not the above, the layout used to create the DVD image. Now allow me to explain 1 and 2 so there isn't anymore wild answers to questions users seem to think they read. Reason 1: If installing more then just the base OS (allow me to say that one key word, INSTALL) then swapping out the CD's is not something I'm willing to spend 3 hours doing (perhaps that was an embellishment after the fact). Reason 2: If there isn't a DVD image to download (either in whole or torrent) then the layout would allow me to create my own INSTALL DVD with my curent 6.0 roms. There - now that I have taken the time to eplain this, I hope there isn't anymore confusion as to what I'm asking.

The info you are asking for is on the Freebsd site. See http://www.freebsd.org/where.html FreeBsd does not have a DVD version for download. It is only available as iso's on the site and you can down load these by torrent if you want to. If you want to do something else then read the documentation and work it out - that is primarily how the system works. You can get FreeBsd on DVD is you want to buy it - see the http://www.freebsd.org/where.html for info on the FreeBsd mall at cost or you can find suppliers at cost through say ebay. One other thought if you don't want to spend time swapping the CDs try an FTP install.

Actually, if you try to install some of the included packages you end up swapping the disks quite frequently. It's quite annoying especially if you decided to install packages because you are in a hurry.
