Any chance you can tell a newbie FreeBSD'er how to
download the whole thingy at once? Tried and have been
unsucessful. Some kind soul mentioned a tar.zip file but
I was not able to find it. I want to download the whole and
install it on a PC at home if possible as it is not really
possible for me to install from net so far.
Tkx for any advice
