Hello

I just want to download the FreeBSD R2.1.6 to my harddisk.
Which files do I download so that it will be a complete mirror? Do I
have to download the whole Release-2.1.6 subdirectory?

I've tried to find the answer in the FAQ but why does it insist I boot
using the boot up disk and then FTP it after? Isn't there any other
option?

Thanks!
