My system went through a bunch of boot/recovery/initialization steps and then went to the login: prompt.

ISO images
Hi, I want to install FreeBSD for the first time but I have some doubts regarding the ISO images. I have downloaded an ISO image (FreeBSD-8.2-RELEASE-i386-dvd1.iso) via torrent, but soon realised that the packages collection was very poor when compared to ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/ i386/8.2-RELEASE/packages/ Is there any complete ISO image that includes all the packages I saw in ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/8.2-RELEASE/ packages/? That would be really nice.

IT Question
Hi Webmaster, I run an Information Technology website http://www.informationtechnologydegree.com. I spent some time earlier today looking through the resource links listed on your site, and I thought you would like to know I found a broken link on this page: http://freebsd.isu.edu.tw/es/news/press.html This is the broken link I came across: http://www.data.com/ When you get a chance to fix this broken link, if you find an open spot for a link to my site, http://www.informationtechnologydegree.com, I would certainly appreciate it. I believe my site is one of the largest actively maintained resources listing accredited schools offering an IT degree. Thanks for taking a look!
