was fuse. On the computer from 2001, FreeBSD 8.1 and 8.2 /var got over 800 MB; I became nervous as /var data grew during the freebsd-update from 8.1 to 8.2. Most iso-downloadable (CD or DVD) Linux distributions now require 512 MB RAM or more; I believe PC-BSD requires at least 512 MB RAM. Tom

To build FreeBSD 9.0 on USB stick for the old computer, host computer would be new amd64, cross-compiling for i386. I see default /var partition size for new FreeBSD installations was to be 4 GB, so I might be safer with 16 GB rather than 8 GB USB stick, even though there would be no need to

The dvd1.iso file is less than 700mb and would fit on a standard cd. But the point is you do not install from a .iso file. The .iso file is a compressed file and when you uncompress it it's way to large to fit on a standard cd but will fit on a dvd. Thats why its named dvd1.iso
