You may be asking the wrong list.  FreeBSD is not Linux, although it
can run many Linux binaries if configured appropriately.

For Linux, you probably want to be looking into something along the
lines of Debian, Fedora, Gentoo, Mandrake, or Suse.


If it is FreeBSD you want to install try

%fetch 
ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/ISO-IMAGES/6.1/6.1-RELEASE-i386-disc1.iso


from a command prompt (the above command is all on one line). If you are 
using a windows computer, go to ftp://ftp.freebsd.org and navigate to 
the directory above and download 6.1-RELEASE-i386-disc1.iso.


When it has downloaded burn it to CD and boot from the CD. You can 
install just from 6.1-RELEASE-i386-disc1.iso. 6.1-RELEASE-i386-disc2.iso 
has more software packages but you can install them later online.

The latest release announcement is at:

http://www.freebsd.org/releases/6.1R/announce.html

There are quite a few FTP servers listed as having the release and you
should be able to dig around in them to look for the ISO image you are
interested in.
