FreeBSD ISO question!
Hi guys
I have just downloaded two ISO's from HERE and was wondering if i now have everything i need to do a complete install.
The files i have downloaded are FreeBSD - Install (standard install) & FreeBSD - Disc 2 (Fix-it CD & CVS Files).
So my question again is do i need any other files from this page?
Cheers

Maybe you should read the inquiry again!

i just installed FreeBSD 4.62, and i needed only disc1 for installing and getting it up and running, the rest comes from the ports...

He means the ports tree, it's FreeBSD's answer to being able to install and upgrade your proggies. . .when you install make sure you choose to install the ports tree. . .afterward all you'll have to do is download the tar file for the program cd to /usr/ports/whatever/theprogis and type make && make install and all the patches and everything for the proggie will be compiled with it. . .or you can just use the packages, either way, I like both. . .but yeah it does sound like you have eveything you need to get BSD up an running! gl.
Every now and then, one of you won't annoy me.

Your first CD is just for normall installation...and the second one..is to fixing or upgrading your package (you can use pkg_info command and then go with pkg_add) if you still need more package to upgrading your "bad Boy" you can install it from http://www.freebsd.org/ports
