I have a PC that I would like to install FreeBSD on. I've used UNIX some
but am confused as to how to go about getting the freeBSD and then
installing it. I been reading here about FTP sites that have source code
but is installation like a DOS install, where you must boot the machine
with a diskette and then keep feeding in floppys? Any help or pointers
to FTP sites for FAQ's/programs would be appriceated.
Thanks
