Check here to see if your Linksys card is supported by
FreeBSD:
http://www.freebsd.org/releases/4.9R/hardware-i386.html
If it is listed there, then you don't need any additional
software, the required drivers are included in FreeBSD.
Otherwise, I suggest you start reading the handbook.
Folks like myself have put considerable effort into
putting together this documentation. I don't really
have the desire to repeat everything that's been done
there:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/index.html
Specicifically, the section on installation I pointed
you to earlier.
If, during installation, you hit a _specific_ problem,
don't hesitate to mail this list asking for assistance.
If you do so, please read this document:
http://www.lemis.com/questions.html
and follow the instructions there, it will assure you
of the fastest response.
I suspect that English is not your first language. At
the top-right of the FreeBSD.org homepage are links to
other languages. See if your language is listed there,
it will probably make things easier on you.
Good Luck!

i have only 1.38 mb floppy disks, so can i burn
those
2 files into one cd and install it by cdrom.
You have a few choices:
1) if you don't have a CD, you can create two
floppies,
boot from them and install via ftp over the
internet
2) If you have a CD that will boot, you can burn an
ISO
image, boot off the CD and do the entire install
from
CD
3) If you have a CD, but it won't boot, you can boot
from
floppies (as in #1) then install the remainer of
the
system from CD
or how do i install with iso files.
See
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/install.html
If you don't know how to burn an ISO to a CD, read
the docs for the CD
burning software you're using, all CD burning
software is different.
how much mb does
it take after totall install.
It depends on the type of install. A minumal is
only a few hundred meg, but
a more practical installation will probably require
a few gig.
