I want to install FreeBSD and I have access to versions 2.1.5, 2.1.6, 2.2,
and some others.  I have some experience with Slackware Linux, and I was
wondering if I am supposed to download from the ftp server
"ftp.cdrom.com/.16/FreeBSD/2.1.6-RELEASE/bin" directory or where I am
supposed to download from to get as much of FreeBSD as I can.  If its alot
can anyone tell me what to download for each part of FreeBSD.  I am aiming
to download from version 2.1.6.  If there is a reason why I should change
versions, please tell me.  Thanks
