Hello. I am trying to get FreeBSD-2.0 just to fit on floppy disks. I 
downloaded the boot_144.flp.gz files and when I gunzip them, they come 
out to be 1.47 megs. :( Should I just download the boot_122.flp.gz files 
and put them on 1.44 meg disks? I have also been thinking of just 
ordering the CD from cdrom.com. ANY help is greatly appreciated since I 
have only recently discovered UNIX. :)

Thanks a bunch
