Summary: where to get freebsd cd?
To: all
X-Newsreader: News Xpress Version 1.0 Beta #3

i recently decided to try out freebsd and was told to get the install files 
from ftp.freebsd.org (i think) and just the bin dir alone was like 30+ 900k 
files. that would take days to d/l all the files (not just bin). do i need all 
the files? where can i get the cd?
