Re: I need help badly with freebsd
Hi , I really need help getting FreeBSD. I cant seem to figure out how to get FreeBSD. I really want and need this but I need to know how to get it. My platform is I386 and please email me witha solution. Go to the FreeBSD web site. http://www.freebsd.org/ Click on the Installation Guide item in the list on the right. You will find lots of information on obtaining and installing FreeBSD. Whether you choose to buy a CD set from one of the sites that burn them and package them with a handbook or download the ISO and burn it yourself and install via FTP primarily depends on two things. 1- the quality/speed of your internet connection. If you have a slow connection or if it is unreliable, it can be a long tedius task to do it all by download. But with a good connection, it is easy and quick. 2- If you are able to financially support the FreeBSD project. Most of the companies that package installation CD sets contribute some of the money to the FreeBSD project. jerry Thanks ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

If you have a machine equipped with a CD burner, you can download the ISO images for the current FreeBSD i386 distribution, burn them onto CDs (total of 4 for the most recent 5.2 release), and install from that. Make sure your CD writer software recognizes that the files you downloaded are ISO images and not regular data files. If you don't have a CD burner, your best bet may be to either order the CDs from freebsdmall.com, or make an appropriate boot/install set on floppies, then complete the actual installation by downloading the packages you need from the net. Instructions for getting and installing FreeBSD are on the website at www.freebsd.org. jms ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
